sbk Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I wonder if he knows about it? He is currently in Thailand (or was the other day). Maybe he'll visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchanan Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I saw something about this on English TV about 4 years ago, where exactly in Bangers is this Temple?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashacat Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I went to this temple a year or so ago and some bloke pointed this out to me, I thought he was joking at first!! madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seonai Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 It's hard to imagine that it's really him, I find it difficult to believe that this would be put on a sacred image. What/who are the other figures around the base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbooks Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I read on this page that the Beckham statue has actually been there since 2000. Pretty crappy reporting from the BBC if so as their report makes out it was installed to coincide with Beckham's visit Can anyone give me exact directions to where Wat Pariwas is located? I've checked my 3 maps of Bangkok and hunted on Google but its location doesn't come up anywhere. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camerata Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 According to the original article, the statue was made in 1998 and the temple is near Khao San Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahu07 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 It just so weird.. what has he got to do with the temple? Perhap it's the idea of the person who sponsor for the building of temple. Just not right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
