  "story": "The temple's own history is a war. In 1765 Burmese troops overran the camp built around it; in 1767 Taksin restored the kingdom and put a Chinese guard here; in 1768 the Burmese besieged it again and Taksin and Maha Sura Singhanat drove them off.\n\n*Inference —* a courtyard of boxing statues at a battle site reads as continuous with all of that, and the reading is the point of building them there.\n\nFor anyone trying to learn the names: this is the fastest way. Fourteen of the fifteen mae mai are pictures, and here the pictures are three-dimensional and labelled."
