The Wat Bowon Niwet was built in 1829. There is a very ornate shrine hall and a Buddha image from the 14th century. Here, a number of kings, including HM King Bhumibol, served their time in the monkhood. This is the national headquarters of the Thammayut Buddhist sect. It houses Mahamakut Buddhist University.
