Buddha Park, outside of Vientiane, holds an impressive collection of very large Buddhist and Hindu sculptures. Here's the view from the top of the park's highest sculpture.
A ground-level view of Buddha Park; the sculpture park was built in 1958 by priest-yogi-shaman Luang Pu Bunleua Sulilat
Haw Phra Kaew was built as a temple during the mid-16th century and once contained the Emerald Buddha (now in Bangkok's Wat Phra Kaew); today it serves as a museum
