If you ignore the crowds and the heat, Wat Arun is actually very beautiful. It is known as the #ThailandEiffelTower and #WatArun. In the center is the four-story main pagoda, Phra That Phran, which was built in a stacked manner and decorated with colorful ceramics. The main tower symbolizes #Sumeru, and the four accompanying towers represent the #FourContinents. Each viewing angle can create beautiful photos with different atmospheres.

In addition to the well-known pagoda, Phaya Yak Wat Chaeng, which is located on the other side of Wat Arun near the ferry terminal, is also super beautiful and great for photo taking. There are two giant sword-wielding statues standing at the door. The temple building is covered with gorgeous floral tiles from the inside to the outside, and it looks beautiful no matter how you photograph it. There are few people and shaded areas, so it is highly recommended to walk around.

The best way to get to Wat Arun is to take a boat on the Chao Phraya River. There are all kinds of boats on the river. The cheapest boat is actually ok, it is cheap and has a good view. From the city, you can take the Blue Line subway to Sanam Chai Station, and then walk 5 minutes to Yodpiman Pier to take the train. Because it is a popular attraction, the instructions are clear and easy to understand, so just follow the crowd!

If you want to enjoy the sunset over Wat Arun on the Chao Phraya River, you can take a boat to the pier on the other side, find a cafe or restaurant facing the river, and watch the sunset leisurely while enjoying delicious food. The lights of Wat Arun are also beautiful at night.
