Somchai is certainly getting his money's worth out of this temple, moving from risking his life drinking unknown fluids, to tempting death by pecking. As you can see by the top left picture, it looks a bit touch and go there for a while, but, as in the drinking incident, he survives.

This temple is the second largest wooden structure in Japan. By a strange coincidence, we're now leaving Kyoto by train to nearby Nara, to see the country's largest.
