Wat Prayurawongsawas or Wat Prayurawongsawas Worawihan is a second-class royal temple, Worawihan type, located near the foot of Phra Phutthayotfa Bridge on the Thonburi side. It was built since the reign of King Nangklao, Rama III, in 1828 by Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Prayurawong (Dit). The locals in this area call it Wat Rua Lek, because Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Prayurawong ordered an iron fence from England to present to King Rama III to use as a wall in the Grand Palace, but he did not like it, so he asked for it to be used as a temple wall instead. Wat Prayurawongsawas Worawihan itself has a design of the ordination hall in a Thai architectural style. The pediment will be decorated with the Bunnag flower pattern. The main chapel will enshrine the small Buddha Naga, which is expected to have been invited from Sukhothai. There are also various structures such as a spear, sword, and axe-shaped iron fence, a large pagoda, a simulated mountain (Khao Tao), a pond, and a cannon monument that commemorates the temple celebration event in 1837.
