Wat Wang Wiwekaram, Buddhist temple in Nong Lu, Thailand

The temple exhibits Mon and Thai architectural elements, featuring a two-floor sermon hall and a prominent Buddhagaya Pagoda near its grounds.

Established in 1953 by Luang Pho Uttama, the temple relocated in 1984 due to the construction of Khao Laem Dam that flooded its original location.

The temple functions as a center for Mon ethnic traditions, housing ancient palm scriptures, Mon texts, and Buddhist artifacts in its upper-floor museum.

Visitors can reach the temple through local transport services from Sangkhlaburi district, with the site remaining open throughout daylight hours.

The original temple structure now rests underwater, creating an unusual submerged religious site known as the Sangkhlaburi Underwater Temple.
