Wat Xieng Khuan (Buddha Park) 🙏🏻🙏🏻

#TravelAbroad Buddha Park or Wat Xieng Khuan (Buddha Park) is another beautiful and magical place to visit in Vientiane. For those who are planning to travel to Laos and want to experience something different, I would like you to stop by here. Brief History Buddha Park is a sculpture park located just 25 kilometers southeast of Vientiane. It has many names such as Wat Xieng Khuan (Chiang Khuan means the city of the soul), Chiang Khuan Cultural Park or Buddha Park. This place was built in 1958 by Pu Boonluea Sureerat or Pu Luea, who was a Vipassana meditator and researcher of Buddhism and Hinduism. He and his disciples built this place together while he was in Laos. After that, he came to Thailand to build Sala Kaew Ku in Nakhon Phanom Province. The buildings, including each Buddha image, contain mystical riddles. The viewer must consider it to understand. It is not a place to come and see just for its beauty. But it is also a teaching of the principles of Dharma. Inside the park, there are many statues, including Buddha statues, statues of Hindu gods such as Vishnu, Shiva, Indra on Erawan, and many other statues, totaling more than 200 statues. The highlight here is the large pumpkin statue, 4 levels, with a door in the shape of a mouth. You can walk to take pictures inside and walk to the top step to see the view of the garden. #VisitLaos
