Yes, it's cheesy, but the sheer size of the sculptures at Sala Kaew Ku can't fail to impress. Built over a period of 20 years by Luang Pu Boun Leua Sourirat, a mystic who died in 1996, the park features a weird and wonderful array of gigantic sculptures ablaze with Hindu-Buddhist imagery.
The main shrine building, almost as strange as the sculptures, is full of images of every description and provenance, photos of Luang Pu at various ages and his corpse lying under a glass dome ringed by flashing lights.
All buses headed east pass the road leading to Sala Kaew Ku (10B), which is also known as Wat Khaek. It's about a five-minute walk from the highway. Chartered túk-túk cost 150B return with a one-hour wait, or you can reach it by bike in about 30 minutes. A map handed out the Mut Mee Guesthouse shows the scenic route. We suggest avoiding the touristy crocodile show near the entrance.
