One place I have been meaning to visit, and left to my last weekend is The Buddha Park, also called Xieng Khuan. It is a very bizarre place, a collection of over 200 statues, with Buddhist and Hindu links (gods, demons and animals). It was built in 1958 by a Buddhist Monk, who also built a similar park over the Mekong in Thailand.
It was built in 1958 by Luang Pu Bunleua Sulilat, a monk who studied both Buddhism and Hinduism. This explains why his park is full not only of Buddha
