Buddha Park

Buddha Park is a sculpture garden containing over 200 figures made from reinforced concrete, including a 40-meter reclining Buddha near the Mekong River. The statues vary in size and fill the grounds with religious representations of many forms.

Luang Pu Bunleua Sulilat founded this spiritual place in 1958, combining Buddhist and Hindu elements in a single vision. After the 1975 revolution, the creator left the country, leaving the work behind.

The park displays Buddhist figures like Avalokiteshvara alongside Hindu deities such as Shiva and Vishnu. This blend of both religions shapes how visitors experience the space and understand its spiritual purpose.

The site is located about 25 kilometers southeast of Vientiane and is open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM throughout the year. Wear sturdy shoes as paths between the many figures are uneven, and bring sun protection as it can be very hot.

A giant pumpkin-shaped structure has three levels accessed through a demon's mouth, representing hell, Earth, and heaven. Visitors can walk through these different areas and experience a symbolic journey through the spiritual realms.
