Modern thai architecture temple

The Sukhothai period saw the construction of Wat Thung Setthi. The ruin stands outside the Si Satchanalai town wall, facing northeast, near the Ramnarong Gate. About two to three years ago, this temple underwent a magnificent restoration. The etchings on the glass windows are what distinguishes this temple. In the stain-glassed windows of the dome, not only Hindu deities like Shiva and Indra, but also fictional pop culture characters may be seen. Lilo and Stitch, Mickey Mouse, Doraemon, and even Darth Vader can be found etched into the glass. It is also famous for its Buddhist hell garden. This is where Buddhists go when they have terrible karma, according to folklore. It appears to be a typical old-style temple from the outside, but inside and in the windows, you will find a magnificent blend of ancient and new motives educating you about good and evil, as well as how to live a decent life. They used a lot of modern references to instruct people, from Disney to Star Wars. #scenicspotphotoguide#art#ancientarchitecture#historicculture#roadtrip#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Wat Thung Setthi

Wat Tung Setthi is located in Tambon Phra Lap, Mueang District, Khon Kaen Province, covering an area of ​​73.2 rai. Construction began in 1999. The construction was initiated by “Luang Ta Oi” (Sawat Sila Udomthap) or known as Luang Ta Oi Yam Daeng. The origin of Wat Tung Setthi began when Luang Ta traveled to various provinces in the northeast for many years, mostly helping parents and teachers in the meditation lineage of the great teacher Luang Pu Man Phurithatto. He helped support Buddhism both directly and indirectly, using both supernatural powers and merit powers to persuade villagers to have faith and come to the temple to make merit and practice Dhamma in large numbers. However, his charity for people continued like this for some time. He considered it and saw that he had helped people in various areas for quite some time. It was time to return to help his children and grandchildren in his hometown in Khon Kaen Province. After returning to Khon Kaen not long ago, Luang Ta remembered that he had an old plot of land, covering an area of ​​about 5 rai, so he went to explore it. From the survey at that time, He realized with his clairvoyance that this was a sacred land, “the land of the three worlds.” So, he and his disciples bought additional land to build a temple directly at the important point of the three worlds. He ordered the construction of a great pagoda to cover it. However, it is well-known among his close descendants that Luang Ta did not only build this great pagoda, but also supported the country and the Chakri dynasty, as he often said, “It was built to honor the King.” Luang Ta said that the name of Wat Tung Setthi was “because there will be millionaires who come to make merit with us. There are both minor millionaires, major millionaires, and future minor millionaires. Even though some people are not yet millionaires today, they will eventually become millionaires.” #NortheasternTeam#GoodAtmosphereAccommodation#BuffetLover#BuffetReview#NaturalTherapy
