Wat Wang Wiwekaram, Kanchanaburi Overview

Wat Wang Wiwekaram is a temple containing the shrine of the monk Luang Phaw Uttama who fled to Thailand from Myanmar during the Burmese war. He died in 2006, and his body lies inside this temple. There are many beautiful structures and buildings that are constructed in Thai, Burmese, and Indian styles. A stunning view of the mountains above and the lake below can be seen from the temple.

This is the most important temple to the Mon community because the coffin of the man who protected them from the war lies here. It is a spiritual center for the Mon settlers of Kanchanaburi.
