Wat Bowon Sathan Sutthawat

Because the temple is situated in a palace, no monks live inside it.

The temple is located at 4 Rachini Road, Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok within Bunditpatanasilpa Institute in front of foot of Phra Pinklao Bridge opposite the entrance of Soi Rambuttri near Tha Chang Wang Na and Bangkok Tourism Division, Culture, Sports and Tourism Department, next to the National Theater.

Wat Bowon Sathan Sutthawat was built by Prince Sakdiphonlasep, viceroy of King Nangklao (Rama III) in the early Rattanakosin era, but it was not finished in his lifetime.

The temple was completed in the reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV).

[1] The interior of the ubosot (ordination hall) contains traditional Thai-style murals.
