Buddha Park Part 1: Nong Khai
In 1958 an eccentric priest-shaman, Luang Pu, built a massive Hindu-themed sculpture garden in Vientiane, Laos. After the revolution he fled to Thailand, and he built another sculpture garden in Nong Khai in 1975. The two gardens face each other across the Mekong River. We love sculpture gardens, so we made sure to visit both of them while we were in the Thai-Lao border area. First off, we checked out the more recent park in Nong Khai. There were lots of Buddhas, of course, but also some neat mythological and surreal creations. See for yourself:

Wow, the last one is brutal. The spider-like multi-weapons wielding creature never had a chance.
Poor spider-like multi-weapons wielding creature.
And just when I was hoping for a good night's sleep...now I will dream of multi-headed serpent like creatures (you know these are not my favorites)! Cool pictures, though.
