Two weekends ago I decided to venture out a bit. Near Vientiane there is a sculpture park, known to Falang (the Lao version of Gringo) as Buddha Park. On my trip I met two Slovenian girls headed the same way. It was nice to have some company, and be each other's photographers.
This is probably the weirdest statue there, although it was FULL of crazy statues
There were three levels inside the circle, each filled with creepy statues and scenes
At the top!
The reclining Buddha
The stairs to the top were really narrow!
The way home we hitched a ride with some UN workers, and then walked part-way across the bridge between Thailand and Laos to find the bus. An accidental adventure. One of the coolest things about being here is meeting people from everywhere. I rarely meet any Americans. I'll post soon about the awesome Chinese guys I made friends with last weekend!
How creepy.....definitely awesomeness but still creepy:) glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteSome of that is totally creepy!! I don't know if I could have handled being in that room for so long!! But overall, some AWESOME sculptures!
ReplyDeleteThe closest thing to a haunted house in Laos?
