Thung Setthi Temple

Wat Tung Setthi in Khon Kaen Province is home to the “Maha Chedi Ratana” or “Maha Chedi Sri Trai Lok That”, which was built by the initiative of Luang Ta Oi, also known as “Luang Ta Yam Daeng”. He invited his children and disciples to build this Maha Ratana Chedi on one of his plots of land. The highlight of the Maha Ratana Chedi is the construction style that reflects various beliefs, which is a perfect blend of important chedis from all three worlds: the Chulamani Chedi in the Daowadungsa heaven, the city of chedis in the naga world, and the Maha Ratana Chedi Sri Trai Lok That on earth. Just visiting this place is like paying homage to chedis from all three worlds. The Maha Ratana Chedi was built based on the belief that this point is the connection between the three worlds: heaven, humans, and the underworld. It is located in the middle of a pond, and the four staircases are decorated with patterns of four families of animals, called the Four Elements Staircase, along with guardians from all four directions. The chedi is designed as an open-hall chedi in the shape of an inverted bell, in an international style, including Thai, Tibetan, Chinese, and Western styles, beautifully blended together. There are also places to worship Guan Yin, Phra Sangkachai, Phra Sivali, and there is also a Hell Square built to remind us. #Worship #BeautifulTemplesAroundThailand #MuaySai #KhonKaen
