Thailand's Buddha
In temples, shops, private homes, there is not shortage of Buddha's in Thailand. From luxurious gold, to wood, to plaster of paris here are my favorites.

In the Buddist tradition when a person does to temple they buy packets of prayer things from the temple. One of those things is a piece of gold leaf -- the gold is placed on whatever part of the Buddha that corresponds with their prayer.
