Wat Sawang Aroma is a Buddhist temple in Nakhon Chum, i.e. a district of Kamphaeng Phet, which has been built upon the leftovers of a previously abandoned temple that was originally named Wat Song Phi Nong and which was still used as a cremation site in the reign of King Rama V.

When the local village temple Wat Ta Man became old and in disrepair, the villagers in 1997 moved the sala, the only structure still in good condition, to the location of the neglected temple and demolished the rest. They then started construction of a new village temple on the grounds of the deserted temple.

During renovation with the help of mahouts from nearby Ban Hang, the local villagers stumbled upon an ancient Buddha image (fig.) that was buried under the soil, presumably hidden there to prevent it from being stolen or damaged when the Burmese invaded the area.

When they dug it out, it seemed as if it had been placed in a tunnel-like cavity, so they named the Buddha image Luang Pho Umong. On the right is the newly built ubosot, guarded by a pair of golden singha, yet the roof still lacks the chofa finial.
