Shakyamuni altar in Wat Suk Duan Ha
Buddhism is a key component to the identities of many Thais. Many of the Buddhist beleivers will give daily offerings to things like the altar with a Buddha image. Others will sporadically feed the stray dogs in and outside the temple complex to make merit. By making and gaining merit, Thais believe they will live longer and happier lives. Some people will also wear Buddhist amulets in order to protect themselves.
My photo shows a Happy Buddha called Shakyamuni inside the Wat Suk Duan Ha. It's probably the most popular statue in this area for bringing good luck and abundance.

Eine sehr schöne Buddha-Darstellung. ich kenne nicht viel davon aber es scheint mir die klassische Darstellung im Sukothai-Stil zu sein.LG, Herbert
