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.
