The two amazing giant straw-built King Kong statues in a Thai park are to be supplemented by a third one – even larger.

The park is at Huay Tung Tao, close to Chiang Mai and the new figure will be eight metres high, taller than the two existing statues. It will be built using donated funds from the public, around €7,000.

The giant King Kongs opened earlier this year and have already become a significant tourist attraction.
