Look at the striped horses, kids!

Blog Guy, I’d like to take my kids on a nice safari to photograph animals. Any suggestions?
Yep, I just got back from Zebra Land. As you can see from my photos, exotic animals run wild.
Wait a minute. All of them are standing on green bases. They’re not real, are they?
Hmmm. They did stand very still, and they wouldn’t take food out of our hands…
As I suspected. Did you have to go on a long jeep ride to find them?
Nah, we rode a motor scooter up a city street. Four blocks, maybe.
Don’t you get tired of giving bad advice?
Well, you can’t get a leopard to change its stripes….

Well, you have to appreciate the practical advantages here. Have you ever had to clean up after horses in any number? That’s a lot of zebras in the picture there!
There was a kids’ movie a few years ago called Racing Stripes, and a racing zebra. Clearly, the producers are looking to generate interest in a sequel.
Does anyone know the name or location of this shrine? I’ll be in Bangkok next week and would love to go there.
