Wat Suwan Khiri, Buddhist temple in Arun Amarin, Thailand.
Wat Suwan Khiri stands where two canals meet, featuring traditional Thai architecture with its main shrine and crematorium near Bangkok Noi district.
Prince Maha Sura Singhanat renovated this temple in 1795, renaming it from Wat Khi Lek to Wat Suwan Khiri, meaning golden mountain temple.
The temple houses a standing Buddha image placed strategically at the canal junction to protect the grounds according to Thai cultural beliefs.
The temple complex maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies and welcomes visitors who should wear appropriate clothing covering shoulders and knees.
Local plants of Siamese cassia around the temple grounds led to its colloquial name Wat Khi Lek among community members.
