Wat Bowonniwet Vihara – Royal Temple in Bangkok’s Old Town
Profile
Visit Wat Bowonniwet Vihara, one of Bangkok’s most important royal temples and a revered center of Thai Buddhism. Established in the early 19th century, it has long been associated with the Thai monarchy — several kings, including King Rama IX (Bhumibol Adulyadej), were ordained here as monks. The temple’s grand golden chedi, tranquil courtyard, and beautifully detailed murals reflect the elegance of Rattanakosin-era architecture. Located near Khao San Road in the historic Phra Nakhon district, Wat Bowonniwet offers a serene space for reflection amidst Bangkok’s vibrant old town.
