ศาลาแก้วกู่ - Sala Keao Ku Sculptutre Park, Nong Khai
Here I present a look around the extraordinary, fantastic & often bizarre concrete sculpture park that take their inspiration from Buddhism & Hinduism motifs.
The park was built by the mystic, cultural cult leader & sculptor Luang Pu Bunleua Sulilat and his followers in 1978 & new sculptures are still be added to this day. This is the second of two such parks he created; the other being in Vientiane Laos, across the river from Nong Khai. This dates to 1958 and his concerns following the communist takeover in 1975 saw him flee across the Mekong River to Thailand on order to continue his vision.
Following the death of Sulilat in 1996, his mummified body rests on the third floor of the Sala Keao Pavilion together with many of his personal artifacts.....
Nong Khai Province, Sala Kaeo Ku Temple, Nong Khai, Thailand. ( 1 )
Nong Khai is the northernmost of the north - eastern ( Isan ) provinces ( Changwat ) of Thailand. Neighbouring provinces are ( from east clockwise ) Bueng Kan, Sakon Nakhon, Udon Thani and Loei. To the north it borders Vientiane Province, Vientiane Prefecture and Bolikhamxai of Laos. The province is located in the valley of the Mae Nam Kong ( Mekong river ), which also forms the border with Laos. There are highlands to the south. The Laotian capital Vientiane is only 25 kilometres away from the provincial capital of Nong Khai. The Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge, which connects the two countries, was built jointly by the governments of Thailand, Laos and Australia, and was opened in 1994.
Over the centuries the control of the province swung between the Thai Kingdom Ayutthaya, and the Laotian kingdom Lan Xang, as their respective powers ebbed and flowed in the region. See also the Haw wars.
The provincial seal shows a pond with a bamboo clump close to it. The bamboo symbolizes stability, glory and continuity for the peaceful and fertile land.
The provincial tree is the tamalan or Burma pallisander ( Dalbergia oliveri ).
The province is subdivided into 17 districts ( Amphoe ). The districts are further subdivided into 115 sub districts ( Tambon ) and 1099 villages ( Muban ). Bueng Kan was part of Nong Khai and was split as the newest province of Thailand.

Nong Khai is a sleepy Thai town with strong Lao influences, and is home to small Chinese and Vietnamese communities as well.
Most locals speak both Thai and the local dialect called Issan, which is closely related to both the Thai and Lao languages. Many locals speak a little bit of English, mostly tourism-related words, and are generally very friendly and helpful if you smile and are polite.
Sala Keoku also spelled as Sala Keo Ku, Sala Keo Koo, Sala Kaew Ku, Sala Kaew Koo, Salakaewkoo, Sala Gaew Goo, Sala Kaeoku, Sala Kaeo Ku, etc. Alternative name: Wat Khaek is a park featuring giant fantastic concrete sculptures inspired by Buddhism and Hinduism. It is located near Nong Khai, Thailand in immediate proximity of the Thai-Lao border and the Mekong river. The park has been built by, and reflects the personal vision of Luang Pu Bunleua Sulilat and his followers ( the construction started in 1978 ). It shares the style of Sulilat's earlier creation, Buddha Park on the Lao side of Mekong, but is marked by even more extravagant fantasy and greater proportions.
Some of the Sala Keoku sculptures tower up to 25 metres in height. Those include a monumental depiction of Buddha meditating under the protection of a seven-headed Naga snake. While the subject ( based on a Buddhist legend ) is one recurrent theme in the religious art of the region, Sulilat's approach is highly unusual, with its naturalistic even though stylised representation of the snakes, whose giant protruding tongues beautifully complement the awe-inspiring composition.
The Sala Keoku pavilion is a large three-story concrete building, whose domes bear the surprising resemblance to a mosque. It was constructed following Sulilat's plans after his death. The 3rd floor hosts many Sulilat-related artefacts, as well as his mummified body.
Perhaps the most enigmatic part of the park is the Wheel of Life, a circular multi-part group of sculptures representing the karmic cycle of birth and death. The composition culminates with a young man taking a step across the fence surrounding the entire installation to become a Buddha statue on the other side

Nong Khai: Sala Kaew Ku Sculpture Park
Sala Kaew Ku Sculpture Park has established itself as one of Thailand’s most enigmatic tourist destinations and is certainly worth a small detour if you find yourself in the region. Work began on the park in 1978 and continued for twenty years until the death of its visionary creator - the mystic shaman Boun Leua Sourirat. Today the park stands tall as a testament to his imagination, creativity and spirituality.

Thailand: Nong Khai - Wat Po Chai
Wat Po Chai in Nong Khai, north-eastern Thailand, is a popular Buddhist temple with both the thai people and visitors alike....
The main attraction is the Viharn with houses the much revered Gold Buddha statue of Luang Phor Phra Sai dating back to the mid 18th century. The statue has an interesting history. Whilst being transferred from Laos to Thailand, the boat carrying it across the Mekong River, sank. For twenty-five years the statue was lost to the waters until it was re-discovered and enshrined in Wat Po Chai.
The Viharn is covered with stunning murals telling the story of the Statue, together with scenes from the life of the Buddha and others of Buddhist life in Nong Khai........
