Wat Bowonniwet, often the first Buddhist temple that tourists in Bangkok visit due to its close proximity to the ever popular (and over-touristy) Khao San Road, is built in a very typical Thai temple architectural style, with sloping tiled roofs and golden ornamentation.

Definitely visit this fascinating and historical first-class royal temple, but for what it's worth, I'd avoid Khao San Road... far too many backpackers for my liking! In fact, in all my years in Bangkok, I've only ventured out to Khao San on two very disappointing occasions!
