Wat Xieng Khuan


A few years after the passport crisis, I visited Laos again with no regret. However there is nothing to do particular. So I took a bus for Wat Xieng Khuan(Buddha Park), about thirty minutes travel. The bus fare was 1000KIP for one way. In Wat Xieng Khuan, there were many interesting Buddha statues. I found that at the bottom of each statue there were several letters of the alphabet. The letters were not graffiti, they might be carved when the statue was made. So the statues are not old ones, like made recently. Of course there is no problem because the statues were interesting...

There were bulletin boards of the names of the benefactors. I am surprised that there were some names of Japanese. I'd like to know how to donate here. Let me know the detail if someone know it:-)
