We are used to seeing Buddhas in Chiang Mai, usually golden and sitting serenely, but this Buddha at the forest temple Wat Umong was a shock and unlike any we had seen before. This emaciated statue is called the Fasting Buddha and represents the Buddha at the end of his long fasting period before he gained enlightenment.
