Wat Arun - A magnificent Buddhist temple known as the "Eiffel Tower of Thailand"

When traveling to Bangkok, you will often take a boat along the Chao Phraya River. There are many temples on both sides of the river, and Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) is one of the most eye-catching buildings!
Built in 1809, Wat Arun has a history of over 200 years and is the oldest building on the Chao Phraya River today. Its main tower is huge and 82 meters high, so it is known as the "Eiffel Tower of Thailand"! It is engraved on the back of the 10 baht coin, which also shows its importance!
Wat Arun is definitely worth a visit. It is huge and magnificent, and every brick and tile on the building reflects traditional cultural colors!
In addition, it is now very popular to rent Thai clothes from nearby shops and then take photos inside!
