The name literally means "Temple of the Three Wihaan" and is often overlooked by tourists, as it is not mentioned in any guidebook or on the itineraries suggested by travel agencies. In fact, the temple consists of three buildings, one of which is quite old and houses a 21-meter-long, beautifully painted reclining Buddha, believed to be 600 years old. The rest of the temple, located one to two kilometers from Wat Phra Neru on the road to the old floating market of Ayutthaya, is considerably less impressive.

Since this temple is located a little outside the city of Ayutthaya, it is recommended to hire a tuk-tuk to go there, visit it and return (approx. 400 THB).

Wat Sam Wihaan is a temple, and when visiting a temple in Thailand there are some rules to follow: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), take off your shoes when entering the building, be quiet, do not hug or kiss, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, do not smoke.
