Wat Khuha Sawan, Buddhist temple in Phasi Charoen District, Bangkok, Thailand
Wat Khuha Sawan is a Buddhist temple in Phasi Charoen District in Bangkok with traditional Thai wood carvings on the front and back of the ubosot. The building stands near Khlong Bangkok Yai canal and can be viewed from boats passing along the waterway.
The temple was renamed from Wat Sala Si Na to Wat Khuha Sawan during King Rama I's reign. The principal Buddha image Luang Pho Phong was restored during this period of renewal.
The temple takes its name from a sacred cave and displays artistic elements from the late Ayutthaya period that remain visible in its structures today. Visitors can observe these historical details while moving through the complex.
The temple grounds are easily accessible by water, making boat trips an ideal way to view the architecture from the canal. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for steps and uneven surfaces throughout the complex.
A large bronze Buddha statue originally housed here now resides at Wat Pho on Rattanakosin Island. This connection links two major Bangkok religious sites in an unexpected way.
