Popular Post snoop1130 Posted August 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2023 A giant sculpture of the renowned Thai deity Kru Kai Kaew or the Great Master Teacher, caused considerable traffic when it failed clear a bridge it was passing under in Ratchadaphisek, Bangkok. A humanoid with bird-like features, wings on its back and golden talons, the unusual sight sparked curiosity about the identity of the deity among bystanders. Too tall to make it through the underpass, the stuck statue gained the attention of onlookers, and now the statue’s backstory has been revealed. The statue’s history is traced back to a monk in Lamphang province. The monk had gifted the statue of Kru Kai Kaew, often known as Great Master Teacher, to his student, Thawil Milinthajinda, an old-school Thai singer and former military musician. Thawil, in turn, passed it on to his student, Suchat Rattanasuk. Suchat Rattanasuk is recognised for establishing the first statues of Kru Kai Kaew in Thailand. Traditionally, figurines of the deity were small, measuring approximately two inches. The statue initially depicted a person sitting in a squatting position. However, Suchat, using a bit of creative license, drew an image of Kru Kai Kaew and cast the first statue standing tall, resembling an older person, reported KhaoSod.
