Sala Keoku, Sculpture garden and temple complex in Nong Khai, Thailand
The Sala Keoku features over 100 concrete statues depicting Buddhist and Hindu deities scattered across extensive gardens near the Mekong River.
Local artist Luang Pu Bunleua Sulilat constructed this religious site in 1978, incorporating design elements from multiple spiritual traditions of Southeast Asia.
The statues represent scenes from Buddhist teachings, Hindu mythology, and local folklore, connecting Thai spiritual practices with neighboring religious traditions.
Visitors can reach the garden by taking a tuk-tuk from Nong Khai city center, with guided tours available in English during morning hours.
A 25-meter-tall wheel of life statue shows human development through multiple stages, from birth to death, using concrete figures and symbolic elements.
