Wat Bowon Mongkhon, Buddhist temple in Bang Yi Khan district, Bangkok, Thailand
Wat Bowon Mongkhon is a Buddhist temple in Bang Yi Khan district, Bangkok, featuring traditional Thai architecture with ornate decorations throughout the main prayer hall and surrounding buildings. The grounds are organized into different sections with gardens and dedicated spaces that support the temple's daily functions and religious activities.
The temple was registered as a Thai historic site and preserves its original structural elements from its construction period. Architectural techniques from that time continue to define the temple's appearance today.
The temple serves as a gathering place where local residents participate in meditation sessions, religious ceremonies, and Buddhist practices that link different generations of the community. Daily activities like these shape how the community maintains its spiritual traditions and way of life.
The temple is located near MRT station Bang Phlat, making access straightforward for visitors. When visiting, wear modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees.
The grounds contain dedicated areas for silent meditation, separated from the main worship spaces by traditional garden arrangements. These quiet spaces offer visitors a contrast to the more active areas elsewhere on the temple grounds.
