David Beckham Temple Shrine – Wat Pariwas

In Bangkok, Thailand there exists an eternal symbol of the football demigod that is David Beckham and it’s located inside a Buddhist temple named Wat Pariwas.  The statue is located on the main altar and is encapsulate with gold leaves.

Residents who worship at the temple claim this statue which was created in the year 2000 is an attempt to show the modernization of the Buddhist religion and to get younger people more interested in religion.  There’s been reports of footballer David Beckham statues and worship around the world but we’re pretty sure this is the only David Beckham statue on the altar of a Buddhist temple (or wat).

David Beckham, the Profit! (purposely misspelled!).
