Recently, Knowing Buddha Organization received notification from Buddhists who support the organization’s work in protecting Buddhism that Sarapadthai shop has sold Buddhist statue with inappropriate design at One Bangkok’s Parade zone. Therefore, we informed the shop and give the owner the right and proper ways to treat Buddha images with respect.
Not long after, Sarapadthai responded with careful consideration on this delicate matter and was willing to resolve the matter. The shop had discussed with management and decided to stop selling the inappropriate Buddha statue.
This is a very good example of a company doing business with a sense of respect for all religions, caring for delicate and sensitive religious matter and willingness to listen and correct for what is wrong.
Knowing Buddha Organization would like to express our sincere thanks to Sarapadthai shop for their understanding and prompt correction to stop selling any Buddha products. We wish Sarapadthai shop further success and prosperity in the future.
If you notice any inappropriate and disrespectful cases, whether Buddha statues, images, and symbols, please cooperate with us to stop those actions and correct for what is wrong. Do feel free to contact or inform us at

May we all be aware of this matter as a Buddhist. It is our duty when it comes to protecting and maintaining Buddhism and Buddha’s symbols.
Although you are not Buddhist, proper respect is supposed to be spotted on in general. Guiding or correcting those around you who do not know would be highly appreciated.
