#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #WorshipBangkok
- Wat Sawat Wari Simaram was built in 1832 during the reign of King Rama III by Phraya Sawat Wari (Che Sua Chim) and received the royal charter of the boundary markers in the same year. Locals call this temple "Wat Khae Samsen."
- The ordination hall (ubosot) follows the royal preferences of King Rama III: a hall-style hall with a gallery and a surrounding veranda. The veranda is supported by simple square pillars without lotus capitals. The column spaces are connected by a veranda support. The upper part of the roof is a double-layered roof. The pediment is decorated with floral and auspicious animal motifs. Instead of the gable, the gable, bai raka, and hang hong decorations, are adorned with stucco naga heads. The staircase has a curved backing and the top of the stairs is decorated with Chinese stone lions.
- Location: Wat Sawat Wari Simaram, 994 Nakhon Chai Si Road, Thanon Nakhon Chai Si Subdistrict, Dusit District, Bangkok 10300
