Phra Sangkajai looks like a Fat Buddha - Chiang Mai (Thailand)

This is an image of Phra Sangkajai or Sangkachai, a monk widely respected in Thailand, which is sometimes confused with Budai (the Chinese "Laughing Buddha" or "Fat Buddha" folk character).

Phra Sangkajai is also known as Katyayana, and he was one of the ten principal disciples of Buddha.
