In the water, you can notice small fish. This phenomenon lasts until next winter.
2. Chess Park:

So, you can play your favorite game here. Not many tourists know about this place, but it is very popular among locals who often come here with children.

5. Space thinking Park:
This park was created by wife and husband Charles Jenks and Maggie Cheswick. According to their plan, this place should give visitors an idea of the Universe and the place of man in it. Being here, you need to consider the fact that all modern science is no more than a step in the process of learning something absolutely unusual. There are no usual flower beds or comfortable paths in the park. However, there are quite futuristic objects like an unusual form of artificial hills, strange bridges, and stairs. The visitor can even get into a “black hole” or find themselves in a Klein bottle or solve some complex mathematical tasks. This is one of those amazing man-made places on the planet, which everyone must visit.
6. The Creation Museum:
This park was created primarily to show people that the creation of the Earth by God does not contradict the theory of evolution in any way. Visitors have a chance to see giant moving figures of dinosaurs. Behind the glass windows, you can see the bones of prehistoric animals and biblical artifacts. In spite of your religious beliefs, the park is worthy of your attention for sure. The fact is that most dinosaur bones and reconstructed skeletons are authentic archaeological finds. And the idea of combining biblical history with science is quite interesting and unusual.
7. Buddha Park:
Park of Buddhas was created by one of the religious leaders of Laos, Bunla sulcatum. It took him a long time to do this spectacular work. Moreover, the Sultan could not complete it, because he went mad. However, the Park is amazing: it combines more than 200 sculptures of Buddhas, gods, snakes, and heroes of Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Thanks to the good planning of this place, visitors can come close to each statue and discover all the peculiarities of carving. The amazing thing is that each stone has its own expression. Absolutely all the statues are worked out to the last detail: scales on snakes folds on the clothes of the heroes, different attributes, and faces. The height of statues varies from 1m to 20 m. The park is just five km from the city of Nong Khai, so it not hard to get there by bike or walk. Besides the statues, there are beautiful ponds and fascinating flower beds. There is also a glass sphere, where you can see the embalmed body of the founder of the park. This sphere is available for every visitor.
8. Keukenhof flower Park:

In spring, more than 800 thousand tourists arrive in the Park, because it is open only in the period from March to May when flowers bloom the most.
9. The Dwarf Kingdom:

But from time to time, it is possible to visit this village and have a look at everything. The dwarfs dress up in fabulous costumes and offer tours of their homes for everyone who interested.
