Wat Si Sawan Sankharam, Mueang Nakhon Sawan District, Nakhon Sawan Province

The most obvious feature at Wat Si Sawan Sankharam is the bell shaped chedi in classic Ayutthaya style. It is an old temple used as the site for government officials to pledge allegiance to the king. Evidence from the period remains in the form of spear blades, oars, knives and swords, a gold Buddha image in the Pathom Thetsana posture, and a silver Buddha image. The main image in the old convocation hall is over 100 years old. In 1976, His Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Queen and their two princesses came here to open the new hall. Now there is also the pagoda built to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of His Majesty. Wat Si Sawan Sangkharam is regarded as having immense historical value.
