Bizarre Buddha Park Vientiane

Imagine a field of intricately carved demons, snakes, monkeys, gods, tortured souls, heaven, hell, and Buddha. Such is life at Buddha Park in Laos, where abandoned Buddhist and Hindu statues find a new life — and where visitors are left wondering, “what the heck did I just see?!”

The Buddha Park or Xieng Khuan is a sculpture park 25km from Vientiane on Mekong River’s bank. The park contains over 200 Buddhist and Hindu statues created in 1958 by monk Luang Pu Bunleua Sulilat.

This is a place where fantasy meets mythology and where Buddhism faces Hinduism. Religious and mythological sculptures in Buddha Park create a deeply mystical and bizarre atmosphere. The park is not only lucid, creative, eccentric but also sacred and otherworldly.
