Wat Bowon Sathan Sutthawat
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). The mural in the interior depicts the legend of the Phra Phuttha Sihing Buddha image and the lives of the 28 Buddhas.
The interior of the ubosot (ordination hall) contains traditional Thai-style murals. Currently the temple is not in use as a traditional religious site and is little known to the public. The Fine Arts Department often uses the ubosot for rituals such as wai khru (teacher appreciation ritual), krob khru (teacher initiation ritual), and other sacred ceremonies to do with traditional dance and musical artists.
