Pdoggg Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 One of ours being interviewed by a Vlogger. She seems quite nice. Anyone know her? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strocube Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 That is not Buddha; it is Ganesha. Not the same thing at all. I have noticed that most Thais have no issues with foreign deities who are not Buddhist. I have seen them make offerings to Islamic deities or Hindu ones, like our cute friend here. I love that about the Thais. There is very much a transactional aspect to these offerings. The people remember and make offerings to the gods or ancestors with the idea that they in turn will favor them with blessings in their lives. It’s folk magic. You see variations of this all over the world. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
