The Secret History of the World

Thailand, 1995, a paw

Tourists glimpsed part of a statue at the end of an alleyway in Chiang Mai. No one ever saw the whole statue, only a piece of it, a paw, part of the pedestal, or the muzzle of a creature that resembled a dog or a dragon.

The tourists went home clicking their tongues and saying, "Those Thais are mysterious people."
