Rat Shrine ... an evening walk-about


Tachiliek is in a narrow piece of Myanmar, wedged between Thailand and China to the South and North, and barely grazing Laos in the East. Since it is also a border town, there is ALOT of trade going on here, and ALOT of Chinese influence, both culturally and politically. This shrine was Buddhists, but with Chinese flavor, acknowledging that 2008 is the year of the rat.
