Wat Wang Wiwekaram in Sangkhlaburi

The temple was built on the donation of villagers who had faith in Abbot Uttama. It is the shrine of Mon's pride and the most important temple of Sangkhlaburi.
Thousands of pilgrims make their way annually to the lakeside monastery, where U Uttama’s body lies. Many take weekend breaks at the lake, boarding boats for trips out into the mysterious waters to see the ruins of the indundated village beneath its surface - the foreigners among them usually unaware of the real-life, still unresolved mystery that lurks behind the walls of Wat Wang Wiwekaram.
