Wat Sawang Arom, Buddhist temple in Khlong Dan, Thailand.

The temple features traditional Thai architectural elements including ancient stupas, a vihara, and ceremonial spaces for religious gatherings and meditation.

During the Ayutthaya period, monks from the capital region relocated to Khlong Dan and initiated restoration efforts of this previously abandoned temple site.

The temple maintains a traditional timekeeping system through drum beats and bell rings, particularly during the evening yarm kham ceremony between 17:30 and 18:00.

The temple grounds remain open to visitors throughout the day, with increased activities during Buddhist festivals and ceremonies involving sacred coin consecrations.

Local monks participate in creating consecrated gold and silver coins dedicated to King Taksin the Great, which support educational funds at Wat Arun Ratchawararam.
