A Real Buddhist Experience in Wat Thung Setthi This is quite a spectacular Temple and well worth the visit, in a very rural setting and surrounded by rice paddy’s. This is a well-preserved temple, fabulous architecture, big windows, intricate carvings, a lotus pond, the rare black Buddha, and a genuine Buddhist experience. There are additional buildings and more statuary around the temple, including an intriguing bridge, large lake and smaller temple. When leaving Wat Thung Setthi there's a lovely coffee house just outside the entrance. Great service here, and some animals. As for the Buddhist experience, beautiful grounds have teaching signs in English. That’s why it’s considered one of the must-visit Khon Kaen attractions. Lastly, one of its rare tourist attractions is the black Buddha, which you can’t see much in other temples. |
