A Hindu God

A huge statue of a God with an elephant head in Thailand? Didn't expect that in a predominantly Buddhist country but there it was - Ganesha - son of Shiva and Parvati, and Hindu god of wisdom and good fortune;  sitting cross-legged just opposite the hotel where we had stopped to take a breather. Our chartered bus from Hat Yai had arrived in Danok towards evening and there was already a crowd of holiday makers there, some taking the opportunity to pay homage to the Hindu God himself while others took delight in taking photos especially with some Thai dancers in traditional dancing costumes. My friends and I did enjoy taking photographs there too, even when posing with the white mouse, red mouse, green mouse and blue mouse; statues of mice as tall as an adult man...2

Which mouse do you think is missing?
