    I think a lot of people are getting hung up on the head as being what is disrespectful. That's not really the issue.

    Cut and dry it's because:

    1. He's not Buddhist

    2. He's using them for decoration only which is not allowed

    3. Its excessive use of the image 

     

    And that's pretty much it.

     

     

    You seem to be putting the blame on the farangs shoulders and clearing the wife.  Maybe she just had a say or maybe the entire say in this.

    Exactly right - for the dense westerner who can't put himself for a second in another culture's shoes, imagine me hanging bleeding Jeezus decapitated heads all along my property line in a 100% fundamentalist christian small town in the US or UK. I imagine there'd be quite the uproar. Could be fun, actually..

     

    Actually this Thai lady isn't hanging bleeding decapitated heads of Buddha.  She is Thai,  Buddhist and the ornaments were manufactured in Thailand by presumably Buddhists.  I have seen these ornaments in many garden supply stores.  Actually I think a bleeding suffering and tortured man nailed to a cross on walls is more offensive.
