Wat Apson Sawan, Buddhist temple in Bang Wa district, Bangkok, Thailand
The temple features Chinese architectural elements in its ordination hall and sanctuary, with 28 principal Buddha images displayed in the Māravijaya posture.
Originally named Wat Mu due to its location on a pig farm, the temple received extensive renovations during King Nangklao's reign in the early 19th century.
The temple maintains its function as a third class royal monastery, offering regular Buddhist ceremonies and meditation sessions for the local community.
The temple complex includes multiple halls, a scripture library situated in a pond, and requires visitors to follow appropriate dress codes for religious sites.
The temple houses a collection of guardian demon statues that protect its stupa, combining traditional Thai mythology with Buddhist architectural elements.
