Nong Khai is a sweet little town on the Laos border. Aside from an esplanade alongside the Mekong, we visited an awesome sculpture garden called the Buddha Park. The artist, a Lao named Luang Pu, transformed traditional Buddhist images into towering, surreal sculptures.
Naga, the seven-headed snake:
One section is a circular ring that depicts the life cycle.
And then it was back on the overnight train from the Laos border back to Bangkok. What a fun way to travel! These two seats facing each other turn into bunk beds. Most trains leave in the evening, and arrive the next morning. Grabbing a Chang beer in the cramped, open air bar car was definitely a memorable experience.
