    Neither. Thai has very ornate, Sino-looking Buddhas with very ornate surroundings and statuary. Tibetan has Buddhas more in line with this kind of design. This looks Indian. Or something you'd find in a general Buddhist's room....

    The 'fat' Buddhas in the front are of course, depictions of the Chinese monk Ho Tei, who strictly speaking, was not THE Buddha at all...
