#heritageplace

Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan or Wat Arun or locally known as Wat Chaeng is a Buddhist temple in the Bangkok Yai district of Bangkok, Thailand.

Located in the west bank of the Chao Phraya river. It’s easily to find, because this temple is one of the most stunning temples in Bangkok.

Not only because of its riverside location but also because the design is very different from the other temples you can visit in the Thai capital. Wat Arun is partly made up of colourfully decorated spires and stands majestically over the water.

Inside the ordination hall of Wat Arun, where the walls are decorated with many intricate murals, you can view the golden Niramitr Buddha image. Wat Arun is an architectural representation of Mount Meru, the center of the world in Buddhist cosmology.

To reach this beautiful temple, From Saphan Taksin boat pier you can take a riverboat that stops at Pier 8. From here, a small shuttle boat takes you from one side of the river to the other.
