Buddha Buying In Bangkok

Bangkok has dozens of impressive Wats, Buddhist temples, and related religious shrines. Plenty of architectural marvels, full of elaborate decorations and crammed with blinged out icons. Maybe you want to have some of that religious magic in your home? Time to head to a holy shop.

Home altars. The colors are set, just choose your size.

Parade of big Buddhas. You want sitting, standing, default gold or maybe make a statement in fake, green plastic jade?

Getting personal. Wat temples like to memorialize their famous, beloved monks by making frighteningly realist mini versions of them. Someone special in your religious life? Grab a copy.

More stuff, always more stuff. Buddha profile and an endless supply, variety of offering baskets. The gifts are for your dearly departed, making sure they have fresh toothpaste, maybe a flashlight in the afterlife.

The sign says not for sitting. Only for selling. For those folks with Buddha envy issues.
