Wat Sawang Arom Worawihan, Buddhist temple in Mueang Sawankhalok, Thailand.

The temple complex contains traditional Thai architectural elements with multiple halls decorated with intricate patterns and golden ornaments throughout its structures.

Established in 1942, the temple began under the guidance of Phra Riew Kusala Jitto, who dedicated his life to creating numerous Buddha statues within its walls.

The temple houses over thirty handmade Buddha statues crafted by Phra Riew and his students, representing different aspects of Buddhist teachings and meditation practices.

Visitors must wear modest clothing covering shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering any of the temple buildings or prayer halls.

The main hall, originally planned as an ubosot but modified due to regulations, contains an exceptional collection of hand-sculpted Buddha figures created through traditional methods.
