It is an open-air sculpture park, approximately 42 rai in size, located in the Samakkhi commune, just 3-6 kilometers from the city of Nong Khai. It is based on the concept of "All religions can coexist" by Grandfather Boonluea Sureerat, who built it in 1978.
Grandfather Boonluea was an artist and meditation practitioner. He created the first sculpture park in Vientiane (Buddha Park, 1958), but fled to Thailand after the revolution in Laos and continued to develop the Sala Kaew Ku until his death.
The sculptures, in the style of many religions, including Buddhism, Brahmanism and Hinduism, are not only unique, but also bear inscriptions on the base of each statue explaining the Isan language and the Thai language, etc.
