Wat Khuhasawan Worawihan is currently a third-class royal temple. Let's learn more about the history of this temple. Let's begin with the first story: Wat Khuhasawan has existed since the Ayutthaya period. At that time, it was called "Wat Sala Si Na." It served as a community temple for the villagers of the area. However, nothing is known about the temple's builder. The Visungkhamasima (royal title) was granted in 2320 during the Thonburi period under King Taksin the Great.

During the reign of the Kingdom of Rattanakosin, King Buddha Yodfa Chulalok the Great graciously allowed Wat Sala Si Na to be rebuilt and named the royal temple Wat Khuhasawan Worawihan.

Wat Khuhasawan Worawihan was originally called "Wat Sala Si Na". It is an ancient temple dating back to the time when Ayutthaya was the capital. However, there is no information about who built it.

▪️ The remaining evidence from the Ayutthaya period are the carved wooden gables on the front and back of the ordination hall.

▪️ The small gable wings on the roof, extending on both sides in two levels, were crafted by artisans from the Ayutthaya period. The sima leaves are a pair made of red sandstone.

▪️ The work of craftsmen from the late Ayutthaya period. The Sima bows were added later.

In their original form, the Sima leaves were simply placed on a cement base.
