The 4-Headed God in Bangkok

We lived across the street from the famous 4-headed God of Bangkok.  Many people believe that this god can grant you wishes.  When you make a wish and it comes true, you must come back and "thank" the god by paying for dancers to entertain the 4-headed God.  My mom's godmother, my 乾婆婆, told us that once someone tried to chop the head off of the 4-headed God and was caught by many of its believers.  They beat him to death! scary.
