    Was wandering around and found this absolutely lovely Buddhist temple- located in a quiet complex filled with sculptures, paintings, and having AC and super clean restrooms. Very friendly Buddhist monk here said hello. Go early; I went around 5:30pm and most of the temple buildings here were closed already.

    One of the most beautiful temple in bankok, Thailand that I highly recommend. You can see the building which is mixed with Chinese - Thai style, but it looks stunning and perfect. Inside the temple have a art in the wall in Thai style and western. All have the meaning about Buddhist philosophy in that and we have to think when we look at these.

    Wat Bowonniwetwiharn Ratchaworaniharn is one of the many smaller Buddhist temples in Bangkok. They are always relaxing and refressing to visit and to wonder beauties of the Buddhist art, or the Buddhist religion.

    The temple is a center of the Thammayut Nikaya order of Thai Theravada Buddhism, it is the shrine-hall of Phra Phuttha Chinnas, a statue of the Buddha which dates to around 1357. Bowonniwet has been a major temple of patronage for the ruling Chakri dynasty. It is where many royal princes and kings studied and served their monkhood, including King Bhumibol and his son, the present king Vajiralongkorn.

👍 "Temple is closed" is a SCAM! "Helpful" people around the temple will say the temple is closed or will open later are scams. Just smile, nod and keep walking. They work in groups and others including tuk tuk drivers may agree that it is closed. If they are not in uniform, don't believe anyone. Only...
