写真は、タイのナコンラチャーシマ(コラートとも呼ばれている)にあるスラナリさん(モーおばさんとも呼ばれている)の銅像前の景色です。1826年にラオス軍がコラートを襲撃し手中に収めた時、スラナリさんは、ラオス兵に酒を飲ませ、酔っぱらったラオス兵を撃退したということで、タイの英雄です。今日も、スラナリさんを慕うタイの人々が花を手向けに来ています。(続く)
【Bon appétit !】
Thao Suranari, also known as Lady Mo, is famous for the bravery she displayed against an invading army of Laos soldiers. She is for all purposes the patron saint of Korat, and a statue of her, which is a popular object of veneration, stands in the middle of Korat. The statue itself is well worth seeing, but so is the chance to observe the reverence she is held in by all of the many locals who come to pay their devotions every day of the year.
