In Thai Buddhism different statues have different meanings just as they do in all Buddhism, but Thailand is unique in the way that it affixes a different statue for each day of the week. In Thai Buddhism this is especially important, because of which statue coincides  with  your birth date.   The statue of a specific birth date
 
will hold special significance to a person born on that day; therefore, they will consider it as their Buddha. For instance at Wat Paratat (Doi Suthep), the most famous temple in Northern Thailand there are Statues covering everyday of the week and it’s believed that if you pray in front of your statue you will gain special merit.
