Looking again, I have just realized that I have got exactly the same reclining Buddha statue as the one in the front row, only a bigger size. Someone brought it to me as a souvenir from Bangkok.

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

Nice photo Michael. A good trip eh??

15 May 2008 12:42am

Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands

Very special photo! It's weird, but the fat figures and the slim and smart-looking figures differ so much, and yet in Holland they both are called "buddha figures". Buddha couldn't be that fat because of his sober lifestyle, and I have read somewhere that the fat ones are in fact Chinese gods of Luck and Prosperity, not buddhas. But the misunderstanding among the people remains.

15 May 2008 3:11am

@Illuci: Thank you, Erik. Your added information was interesting.

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan

This must be a very interesting shop! No need to buy, just have a good look around! I like the two overweight men, laughing so heartily! In Japan they are part of the team of the "Seven Gods of Fortune".

15 May 2008 3:46am

@Japanalia: A great comment, Gabriela. Thank you.
