Cockfight Row


Choosing to live in Bangkok for a month was a good move. Aaron and I befriended some guys on a tiny side street in the center of the city, and we went over to hang with them nearly every day. They invited us to come and see a cockfight they were holding in a ring they’d set up in a backyard. The mixture of their tenderness toward the chickens with the viciousness of the fight was startling.
