hi all

Does anyone know the location of wat bowonniwet in BKK; I am trying to locate the book shop opposite to buy the book ordination procedure

If anyone can assist me it would be greatly appreciated;

thanks in advance

Wat Bowonniwet Vihara is a Royal Buddhist monastery of the Dhammayut tradition, located on the northeast side of Bangkok’s Ratanakosin island, just inside the ancient wall bordering Banglumpoo canal, on Pra Sumeru road. The monastery’s name comes from the Pali language, Pavara+niwesa, and translates as Temple of the Excellent Abode.

This is from their web site....do you know how to google?

Thankyou all for the replies you have been most helpful!

I am currently in Phichit and am trying to locate the bookstore opposite the Wat to get the book Ordination Procedure! Does anyone know of this bookstore or maybe have the phone number so i can check the availability before travelling down to bkk

After much thought I have decided to become a monk for three months starting december 17

Thankyou so much
