The Chinese and Vietnamese placed them there for ‘luck’ but the Thais think it is disrespectful and vandalising an important religious site for local people. Locals are asking authorities to act against what they see as vandalism.

A Chinese tour guide responded on the Pattaya Update News Facebook page that they have warned tourists not to do it but say the tourists took no notice.
