Nearly everyone that passes through Vientiane will make the trip outside the city past the Friendship Bridge to Thailand in order to visit Xieng Khuan (Buddha Park). Although it has little historic value being only about 55 years old, for less than a dollar this small road side attraction will leave puzzled. You will certainly be pondering if the fruit milkshake lady may have slipped something special into you breakfast shake.With a massive lying Buddha as the focal point, the park is filled with impressive stone statues of everything from a simple rabbit to lead you into 'Wonderland' to intricately designed towering demons embodying mythological creatures of evil from the past to lead you into hell. For this one allow the pictures and your imagination to explain!
