Wat Sam Wihan, Buddhist temple in Hua Ro, Thailand.

The temple features a large bell-shaped chedi and a boat-shaped vihara containing an ancient reclining Buddha statue from the Ayutthaya period.

During the White Elephant War of 1563, the Burmese King Hongsawadi positioned his military forces at Wat Sam Wihan before attacking the city.

The temple maintains an ordination hall with original sema stones marking sacred boundaries according to Thai Buddhist architectural traditions.

Located at coordinates 14.3725° N and 100.576667° E, the temple can be accessed through Khlong Bang Khuat, formerly known as Pho Sam Ton River.

Archaeological excavations revealed multiple foundation layers underneath the temple structures, indicating continuous development throughout different historical periods.
