qualtrough Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Passed through Pattaya by bus a month or so ago and noticed a very large religious complex, full of colorful domed buildings. But the interesting thing was that one of the gates was crowned by a giant chicken. I would be grateful if someone could tell me what that place is? P.S. I am assuming that there is only one outfit with a giant chicken in Pattaya, but I could be wrong. If there is more than one, please tell me what those places are.

tuky Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 It belongs to one of the richest guys in Thailand, he owns the chicken market. If you ask me it is an eyesore, if I had his money I would have built a different style of palace, but it is kind of a tourist attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 What about the Chicken temple in Kanchanaburi then? It doesn't have a giant chicken statue but two quite large ones at the bottom of the stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qualtrough Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Ah, the CP Group, that explains it. I just saw it passing by, and at the time it didn't even seem like it was something put up by Buddhists. Maybe it isn't, I don't know. If I had made as much money from chickens as CP has I too would be raising statues to them. I thought is might be some semi-obscure Indian or ME sect. Not naming any names as I don't want to offend anyone. Anyway, thanks for the answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heng Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Yeah, it's one of the Saha Farms homes. They use it more as a meeting/seminar place though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
