This is just another square in Siam Square . There is a Thai spirit house in the direction of the arrow and it was the first time I encountered 2 large zebra statues flanking it.
Yeah , something similar to the one below . Because it looked so funny , we giggled. Omg. Didn't know the significance at the time. Somehow I held back on snapping a picture.

If you ever come across a lot of these statues , that probably means that there is an accident hotspot just next to it. Some people who have had a brush with death , will put them there as a thank you. Others hope that they will be spared from accidents.
The reason why the zebra is used is simple.
Zebra crossing equals safe zone. Thus if you see a few of these , they're like an insurance. A lot shows that you're risking joining in the list of victims of a deadly stretch .
Clearly no laughing matter .
