Sala Keo Kou, A park with very large concrete statues / sculptures which represents the life of the Lord Buddha.
The concrete sculptures are the work of Luang Pu Bunleua Sulilat and hisfollowers, a community of over 100 men and women who lived on the grounds and gave their labour for free. The statues feature both Buddhist and Hindu mythological figures and also illustrate many scenes from the life of the Lord Buddha. One of the main features is The Buddhist Wheel of Life, a collection of sculptures that follow the Buddhist path from birth through their life cycle, childhood, marriage, old age, death and eventual rebirth into a better life as reward from the merits made in their previous one.
