Carrying a camera to explore Wat Khao Kaew Worawiharn - Sao Hai - Saraburi

Located on the right bank of the Pa Sak River in Don Tan Subdistrict, 6 kilometers from the district office, Wat Khao Kaew Worawiharn was once a royal pavilion for King Rama IV during his royal tour of the provinces. Due to its serene and picturesque setting, the king ordered the restoration and renovation of Wat Khao Kaew, elevating it to the status of a royal temple.

The first thing that catches the eye of tourists from afar is the magnificent white stupa, standing proudly atop the hill.

The temple's notable art includes a five-tiered Thai-style pagoda with four niches on each side. The eastern niche houses a Buddha statue in the "pacifying relatives" posture, the western niche houses a Buddha statue in the "carrying an alms bowl" posture, the northern niche houses a Buddha statue in the "contemplation" posture, and the southern niche houses a Buddha statue in the "walking" posture. In the past, the pagoda was painted in black, white, and green, but it is currently painted in gold. Only one niche remains black.

The chedi houses relics of the Buddha and his disciples. Legend has it that on auspicious days, a radiant orb can be seen shining atop the chedi. The five-pronged prang, situated between the bell tower and the main chedi, has three entrances.
