   I don’t remember seeing such a fully intact Buddha in Ayutthaya. Maybe I wasn’t at this part (I unfortunately didn’t rent a bike when I got there and walked the whole day, so I may have missed a bit).

   Um……. I may be mistaken, but i don’t think that’s Buddha. I’m no expert, but I remember Buddha being quite chubby. Did Buddha have that trendy stomach surgery like Star Jones?

     Buddha is not always portrayed as a jolly, fat Asian Santa Clause. Many of the statues you see in SE Asia are a more svelte Buddha.

     It is sort of like how you choose to view Elvis I guess.
