Thailand [PART 1]

Westerners love its beaches and tropical atmosphere, while the easterners love its shopping spree. You can feel the heat, you can be stuck in a congested traffic jam, and you can also feel tranquil in a Buddhist temple complex in the same day. That's the reason why Bangkok always flooded by international tourists across the Earth everyday.

Thailand, or we usually know as the white elephant country offers millions of attractions all around. A unique both-sided, religious and hedonism realm can be found not so far from each other.

While Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket are must-see destinations, there're also another off-beaten track which need to be explored. So here are some cool, amazing, unique, and weird destinations across Thailand!

The last and probably the most surprising destination that will blow your mind.
It is not far from the bustling downtown of Bangkok. A small building that you will never expect has been keeping a unique, unusual, and maybe "weird" looking stuff inside. It's a Buddhist temple named Wat Pariwat (Pariwat Temple), located just south from Bangkok downtown.
At Bang Phong Phang, Yannawa, Bangkok

Like you always imagine, Buddhist temple is usually filled with Buddha statues. At least there's one.
But here, you can find another figure of someone you probably know.

It is a GOLDEN STATUE of DAVID BECKHAM!!!

That's why this temple is widely-known as David Beckham Temple.

They say it's David Beckham, the right statue. But I don't find any resemblance

Recent info said the statue may replaced or removed and some tourists couldn't find it anymore. We still not sure or maybe the statue room has been locked and closed at the moment.

Don't worry, guys! You will be entertained by another quirky stuffs at the inside and outside of temple.

How about this?

Albert Einstein wall ceramic tiles.. in a temple?!!

Che Guevara decorated the exterior

Jackie Chan? Are you serious?!
