Thailand is filled with statues of figures in the Buddhist and Hindu religions. There are statues of Gods and Demi-gods and most are worshipped by the majority of the Thai population.
Many of the figures are prayed to for different reasons. Some for wealth, some for good health and some for an overall good life.
Lord Buddha is neither a God nor a demi-god and he should never be prayed to because he is only a man. However many people do pray to him because they think he can grant them favor. He cannot. He an only provide an example and wisdom on how to end suffering and reach a perfect state.
This is a statue of Buddha.
As you can see, it is in a beautiful location with a lake behind it Very calm and relaxing which is perfect for him.
