Wat Bovorn Nivet was built during 1824 to 1832 and located near Wat Rangsi Sutthawas (built in 1823). In the Sixth Reign (1910 to 1925) Wat Bovorn Nivet and Wat Rangsi were amalgamated into one temple called "Wat Bovorn Nivet Viharn".

This temple is one of the most important temples in Thailand because it is the temple where King Rama VI, VII and IX spent their time in being Buddhist monks.
