Sala Keawkoo Park

This was an amazing park in Nongkai that deserved it's own entry of photos that my friends Shampu, Puy and their cousin Snat took me to, very interesting stories associated with the various sculptures. My three friends made this a highlight of my trek so far with their excellent explanations and extra effort and patience to ensure I understood. We spent several hours here walking through the park, fed some fish then went out for a nice dinner before I said bye to these great girls. They were the best guides a person could want.

 There were stories attached to most of these sculptures, mostly about how someone had done humanity wrong and they rectified it with the help of Buddha, to whom they pay homage. Like this guy who was a finger collector, until he realized that it was wrong and he gave his sword to Buddha.
Check out his necklace.
