Have You Seen a Headless Buddha?
This large Golden Buddha’s head, weighing about 100 kilos, was found on Soi Charan Santiwong 57 in Bang Phlat, Bangkok. The authorities are trying to track down the body. Thieves usually cut off the head as it is easier to carry than a whole Buddha image.
Maybe Jim Thompson know the place….
But why would they do that? What’s the point? Can they sell it?
Not sure how much gold is in it. Could melt it down I guess. But also worth a lot to collectors.
