A close-up of sculptures that represent people in a Buddhist scene, at Wat Pariwat temple. The temple Wat Pariwat Ratchasongkram also known as the David Beckham Temple for its statue of the famed soccer star is a unique and unconventional Buddhist temple with the concept of incorporating modern art and culture into the temple's design to attract younger generations and make Buddhism more relatable to contemporary society.
Despite its unconventional appearance, featuring colorful murals of superheroes and cartoon characters, Wat Pariwat remains a revered site for Buddhists and a popular spot for tourists seeking a unique cultural experience in Bangkok.
