This statue of Buddha sits on the corner of a busy street here in Bangkok. People can be seen all day here leaving offerings of flowers and incense for Buddha for their transgressions during the day. The smell of incense is slightly spicey and sweet, and can be smelled half way down the block. The sidewalk approaching Buddha is lined with carts selling the flowers and incense, and the sidewalk space is "rented" out by the corrupt police force.
