Wat Si Sawan Sangkharam (Wat Thu Nam) is at
Tambon Nakhon Sawan. It is an old temple that was 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 2 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 an old temple with
immense historical value.
