					Sala Kaew Ku
	Sala Kaew Ku near Nong Khai has one sight that cannot be missed. This park of massive sculptures is the work of the mystic Luang Pa Bunleua Sulilat, a Brahmanic priest-shaman who lived in Loas before Nong Kai. The statues here represent Hindu, Buddhist, and Confucian deities, including many-armed goddesses, naga snakes and all sorts of human-animal figures. Luang Pa's mummified remains are enshrined on the upper floor of the Sala Kaew Ku pavilion. A guide should be there to take you upstairs. Mine was kind and informative. To get there: Sala Kaew Ku is Located 6 km east of Nong Khai on Highway 212. Best bet is to take a tuk-tuk and have the driver hold when you are there or you may not find an easy way back.


				LEFT: One of the interesting things about foreign travel is simply using the rest rooms. At Sala Kaew Ku it was the honor system of 3 baht. RIGHT: There are times that I did not know which restroom to use because I cannot read Thai. Thanks to someone for the International symbol! opps...wrong one.
