In 2008 I visited Sala Keoku in Nong Khai for the first time. The building of the park started in 1978 under the guiding hand of Luang Phu Bunleua Sulilat who did also build the famous Buddha park Xiang Khuan nearby Vientiane (Laos). I think it is best described as a Buddhist sculpture park to teach the ordinary people about the values of live and Buddhism. Any yes it is a really amazing park with sculpture high as 20 meters and of most beautiful handcraft. With "Heaven and Hell" and more weird sculptures of and man & women living their live together and ending as a skeleton sitting together. But also bizarre sculpture of dragons and snakes. You could spend here 1 to 2 hours. Sala Keoku is located just outside (east) Nong Khai city, easy to be reached by Tuk Tuk.
If you like some help with organizing your holiday in Nong Khai or anywhere in Thailand send me an email at The Little Elephant Traveling in Thailand.
