300 baht ain't nothing. I talked to this taxi driver last December,
he said the Buddha called "SOMDET"
can easily fetch for 40 thousand dollars. Among Thais, they said
there are only 4 sacred Somdet Buddha were made.
And even the Thai crown prince is looking for one. He is willing to
give away a brand new mercedez benz for one
Somdet.
