Tourists know this Buddhist temple as David Beckham temple, though, its official name is Wat Pariwat. The explanation of how the famous soccer player is connected to spiritual practices is pretty interesting. The head monk of the temple is a big Manchester United supporter, so he decided to place a little figure of David inside the temple.

Beckham doesn’t play for Manchester United anymore, but his figure still stays there as a great tourist attraction.
