Wat Awut Wikasitaram

The temple complex features an Ubosot with a large Buddha figure adorned with a flame-shaped mandorla on its east side entrance.

The temple earned its name, Temple of Arms, through its enduring connection with the air force, which conducts cremation ceremonies for senior officials.

Mae Chi Bun Ruan, a female religious figure with shaved head and white robes, leads meditation practices and receives devotees in a dedicated Sala.

The temple extends to the Chao Phraya River at coordinates 13°47'23' N, 100°30'18' E, offering views of the new Thai parliament building.

Wat Awut Wikasitaram maintains an uncommon tradition where Buddhist women in white robes conduct meditation sessions and spiritual teachings for visitors.
