Sala Keoku
Sala Keoku is an unusually beautiful park that is completely oriented towards Hinduism and Buddhism. The sculptures appeared here in 1978 under the direct command of Bunly Sulilat. Sala Keoku Park has found its place among Thailand, in its northeastern part.
Sculptures, which are an integral part of the park, serve as a wonderful decoration. These unusual works of art were built using the most common building materials – brick and reinforced concrete. In Sala Keoku Park, you can see a wide variety of sculptural works, from very small to the largest. In the largest exhibits, there are even openings where you can enter.
All the sculptures presented are based on the same motif, which is a classic of Buddhism. Of course, the main figure that is present in the park is a huge statue of Buddha. However, many of the sculptures in the park are made in the form of animals, which are very important for Asian culture. Here are the casts of animals that take place in the Chinese calendar. Many different sculptures are associated with various myths and legends of this land, the heroes of which were snakes, dragons, as well as other very scary fictional characters.
In the middle of the park there are also figures that were not completed for various reasons, they have been waiting for the talented hands of the master for a long time.
Walking deep into the park, the monastery opens up, where its faithful servants take care of the cause of Sulilat, and also take care of the local monuments. It was here that the sculptor of this historical center himself was buried.
In addition to the attractive decoration, the garden is also famous for its green vegetation. This place is simply indispensable for a family vacation. Here, by a clear pond, you can observe the life of carp and other wildlife. The beds of exotic flowers are simply amazing in their variety. In our region, such plants can only be observed in large greenhouses.
The numerous streets of Sala Keoku Park run and run together, intertwining with each other. You can wander through them for a long time carefree, constantly finding new paintings. Amazing sculptures of ancient deities, incomparable mythical heroes, magnificent graceful women, as well as an amazing landscape – all this makes up a complete picture of the famous Sala Keoku Park complex.
However, it is worth noting that it is not the sculptures themselves that attract the gaze of visitors, but also their impeccable ornament.
Sala Keoku is always glad to have guests. The local sculptures, magnificent pond and flower beds are sure to delight both adults and children.
