Wat Khao Chawang is an important and long-standing religious site in Pong Nam Ron Subdistrict, Chanthaburi Province, continuously serving as a center of faith for local villagers. Its architectural distinction lies in its "ancient Assembly Hall (Ubosot)", which preserves an exquisite and historically valuable local artistic style. The surrounding area of the temple is peaceful and shaded by large trees, making it a highly suitable location for meditation, merit-making, and seeking spiritual tranquility.

The key attraction for tourists and Buddhists is the "Large Reclining Buddha Image" (Phra Non), which is enshrined on a hill and requires climbing stairs to reach. The ascent is not only an act of merit-making but also a rewarding pilgrimage and light exercise. Upon reaching the shrine, visitors are rewarded with 360-degree views of the surrounding area, including mountain ranges, rice fields, and Pong Nam Ron town, establishing it as an exceptionally beautiful and charming viewpoint in Chanthaburi Province.

We invite all to visit Wat Khao Chawang to experience the enduring faith of the locals and capture memorable photos from the hilltop view, leaving you feeling fulfilled both physically and spiritually.
