You met your wife in the park? And she let you taste her food? ...Thai food??? Well, this is my theory: you were attracted to her so you approached her by complementing her food...and she liked you too so she let you taste the food...one thing let to another!! Am I right??

Dear Hanzze,Hanzze wrote:"Love goes through the belly" (a german proverb tells), that is maybe also the reason why Guan-Yin (or Avalokitasvara, or Chenrezig, or Phra Mae Kuan Im, or Preah Mae Kun Ci Iem) is so populare. What ever is able to make us contented and pleased... for the six mothes even 1000 arms are to less.

A book about the symbolism of wats (What's What in a Wat by Carol Stratton http://www.amazon.com/Whats-What-Wat-Bu ... 9749511999) mentions that figures of Guan Yin are appearing more often in Thai temples these days.
I think this statue must represent her. I saw it in Wat Bupparam in Chiang Mai, placed to one side of the main Buddha images but still quite large and quite prominent.
