Secret Buddha Garden, Sculpture garden on Pom Mountain, Taling Ngam, Thailand
The Secret Buddha Garden contains numerous stone figures depicting Buddhist deities, mythical creatures, animals, and personal statues scattered across the hillside terrain.
Nim Thongsuk, a retired durian farmer, created this garden in 1976 at age 77 and continued adding sculptures until his death at age 91.
The garden displays Thai Buddhist elements through stone figures representing religious teachings, with statues of angels, musicians, and family members integrated throughout.
Access requires navigating a steep road on Route 4169 between Hua Thanon and Na Mueang, with an entrance fee of 80 THB per person.
The garden includes personal touches such as statues of the creator's parents and a sculpture depicting Nim Thongsuk holding hands with his father.
