Similarly unusual images were created in workshops throughout Northern Thailand, along the borders with Laos and Burma. Buddhist art originating from this area, noted for the convergence of the three countries' borders at the Golden Triangle, very often shows a multicultural influence and a combining, mixing, or blending of the three countries' styles of art. Oversized ears in particular are common feature of Jambupati Buddhas originating from Northern Burma.

Notice that this feature exhibits itself in more elaboration on the headdress of the current Buddha carving.
