Not sure of the transliteration but I believe the statue is at Wiharnsien, within the grounds of Wat Yansangwaram, near Pattaya (of course).
Pearl has a chair just like it.
You want the 5 baht in dollars or euros?
My transliterated name of the place is Viharna Sien but don't remember where I found that. A huge bronze collection - almost all Chinese I believe. The "finger" guy is the bronze image of Wang T'ien-chun, the God of Taoism (Tang Dynasty). I presume that he wasn't flipping anyone off and that the gesture had some other symbolic meaning.
Here's a shot of just a few of the statues outside (and I think the one of the short whales in front may be a relative of our own bbb):

Just enjoyed the photo and remembered something I was once told about this place and guessed. Any more pics?
