Thailand’s Hell Garden
Saen Suk, Thailand
The sign that greets visitors entering this sculpture garden pretty much
says it all: “Welcome to Hell.” The Wang Saen Suk’s “hell garden”
depicts, in garish detail, the punishments in store for those who
transgress in life. If the statues are to be believed—with impaling,
transfiguration, and disemboweling all represented—the tortures for
sinners are pretty gruesome, so you might want to bank a few good deeds
before you visit.
