Lonely Planet review

Home to the Buddhist Mahamakut University, this royally affiliated monastery is the national headquarters of the Thammayut sect of Thai Buddhism. It may be in the midst of ultra-casual Banglamphu but Bowonniwet is where the present king was ordained. Visitors must dress appropriately.
