Explore Bangkok's Wat Arun and experience the beauty of ancient Thai architecture

As a famous landmark in Bangkok, Wat Arun is a must-see attraction when visiting Bangkok. It is not only a temple with a long history, but also a shining pearl of Thai art and culture. Next, I will share a super practical guide.

🚗Transportation Guide

You can choose to take the subway or bus. If you take the subway, you need to first arrive at the station near the Riverside Pier and then transfer to the ferry. Ferry is the most unique way to get to Wat Arun, and you can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Chao Phraya River on the way. If you choose to take a taxi, you should plan your time in advance as there is a high risk of traffic jams during rush hour in Bangkok.

🌟Attractions

The main tower of Wat Arun, Barang Pagoda, is very spectacular. The tower is inlaid with colorful ceramic pieces and shells, shining brightly in the sun. If you look closely, you can see exquisite carvings telling ancient Thai myths. In addition to the main tower, there are some small towers and buildings around it, forming a harmonious ancient building complex.

The environment inside the temple is quiet and peaceful, and you can feel the strong religious atmosphere while walking through it. This place is also very suitable for taking photos, whether it is taking photos of buildings or portraits, many photography enthusiasts come here to take pictures.

⏰Opening hours and tickets

Opening hours are usually from 8:30am to 5:30pm. The ticket price is not expensive, about 100 baht, which is very cost-effective.

❗Notes

When entering a temple, you must pay attention to your dress. Do not wear clothes that are too short or too revealing. You must keep your clothes neat and decent and respect local religious customs. In addition, photography is not allowed in some areas of the temple, so please pay attention to the signs. When visiting, do not touch the cultural relics and buildings, and take care of every brick and tile here.
