The Sala Kaew Khu is a sculpture park. Built by a mystic named Luang Pu Boun Leua Sourirat in 1978 and over a period of 20 years, the Sala Kaew Khu is an interesting and impressive creation. Quite simply put the park is full of statues related to Buddhism and Hinduism. Yet, it is fantastic, serene, and the sheer magnitude and genius of the park can amaze one easily.
Luang Pu began building the structures on the Lao side of the River Mekong. But after the communist took over Laos, he travelled across to Nong Khai. Some statues rise as high as 25m, whereas some depict the tales of values. Luang Pu’s mummified body remains within the park today. The park is a must-visit destination for history and architecture buffs.
