As I was leaving Pha That Luang, a group of boys came up and started playing a game that seemed like a cross between hacky sack and soccer. Given that this is a major national monument, it was interesting that there was no security to shoo them away. They just wandered into the courtyard and started playing. Nice.
Unfortunately, I don't have much information about the guy perched on the top of the pedestal in front of the monument. I looked for some sort of placard for an explanation but found nothing. I can tell you that he was wearing a pointy hat (like a witch) and had a sword laying across his knees.
