One of our targets during our recent Laos trip, was to visit the Buddha Park<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a025 km south-east of\u00a0Vientiane. The \u00a0park was started in 1958 by Luang Pu Bunleua Sulilat, a priest-shaman who wanted to integrate Hinduism and Buddhism and the park has now become a tourist attraction.<\/p>\n

Access is easy, bus 14 from the Vientiane bus station, near the market. The bus was crowded, so many people going to the Buddha Park? No, the bus passes the famous Friendship Bridge<\/a>, where you can cross over the Mekong to Thailand and most passengers did that. We were sitting next to a friendly monk.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
