🙏Wat Chinorasaram Worawihan is a third-class royal temple, Worawihan type. The builder was Somdej Phra Maha Samana Chao Krom Phra Paramanuchit Chinoros while holding the title of Krom Muen Nuchit Chinoros. It was built in 1836 to be used as a place for meditation, Vipassana meditation, and to enjoy the posture on certain occasions.
