Save this must-see spot in Vientiane, Laos!🇱🇦
📍 Buddha Park
Buddha Park, or Xieng Khuan, is one of the most unusual sights you can visit in Vientiane. Founded in 1958 by monk Bunleua Sulila (who also established another similar park, Sala Keoku, just across the river in Thailand), this small sculpture park sits on the shores of the Mekong River and blends beautifully with a botanical garden.
Its name translates to “Spirit City” because it contains about 200 impressive figures of Buddha and other Hindu and Buddhist images. Some are extremely large and elaborate, while others feature mythical figures and animals, giving the park more of a temple vibe than that of a regular sculpture park (although the sculptures are all relatively modern).
Don’t worry—you’ll have plenty of photo opportunities here, including a lovely collection of frangipani! This is definitely a trip to remember!
Important:
The Buddha Park is located a short drive from the city center; it took us about 45 minutes with traffic, but if you’re lucky, it should take closer to half an hour. The ticket booth closes at 5 PM, but we were allowed to stay a little longer.

A Balinese spa experience in a best upcountry hotel of Indonesia as per @travelandleisureasia? Yes, please!👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
The @mandapareserve Spa is nestled in a tranquil villa complex facing the Ayung River, surrounded by vibrant tropical plants and constructed using natural materials. I treated myself to a 2.5-hour Empower Me experience, which included meditation, a full-body massage, a facial, and extra time to unwind by the vitality pool or in the relaxation area.
Highly recommended! #purpurpurpur_hotels

Postcards from Vientiane, the capital of Laos, - and my guide to it is live at Purpurpurpur.co.uk!
Laos is a beautiful and often underappreciated country in Southeast Asia, and Vientiane sits on the Mekong River, directly facing Thailand’s city of Chiang Mai; we could see Thai houses from the windows of our hotel @doubletreevientiane!
You can easily spend a few days exploring Vientiane. Sadly, we didn’t visit the museums in Vientiane, but if you have the time, be sure to check out the National Museum and the Lao Textile Museum. #purpurpurpur_guides🔎🌎

With whom would you stay in this private pool villa in Ubub?🥹🌿🌺
📍 @mandapareserve #purpurpurpur_hotels
Mandapa is located close to the center of Ubud (it might be 40 mins because of a traffic but if you’re lucky, it’ll be just 10 min by car), but it’s not just a regular hotel; it’s a village! You’d never guess it has such a huge territory until you see it by yourself.
We stayed in a stylish high-tech pool villa with a 30-meter-long pool. To get to your villa, opt for a buggy which drives you directly to your stone-paved entrance to your private paradise.
Our villa is perched high on a hill in complete isolation, featuring two pavilions — one for relaxation and the other for living (which includes a bedroom, bathroom, and walk-in wardrobe). Sadly, the pool wasn’t heated, but we enjoyed it anyway.
Every day we received new herbal teas, local fruits and traditional desserts as well as daily informational leaflets about Balinese symbols and culture.

Afternoon tea in Bali? That’s a yes from me!
Head to the @ambarubudbar Ambar, a Japanese restaurant with an incredible scenery🌿 The afternoon tea includes a selection of traditional sandwiches, scones, desserts, and some yakitori. Besides that, you can try there Loloh, a traditional Balinese herbal drink, which is believed to have health benefits and serves as a refreshing remedy.
