🏖️Overview:
One of the three major temples in Thailand. Wat Arun is a landmark temple🛕 in Thailand where you can feel history📖 and culture. It is a temple with a stronger Hindu color than Buddhism, and is also known for appearing in Yukio Mishima's novel "Temple of the Dawn". There are five pagodas, with smaller pagodas built around the central pagoda on all four sides. It was created with the image of "Mount Sumeru🏔️", which is said to be at the center of the world in the worldview of ancient India🇮🇳, and is decorated with colorful pieces of pottery🏺.
💞Reasons why we recommend it:
Get off at the nearest station by MRTⓂ️ and walk🚶 to the pier. When you see a magnificent building🏛️ across the river, your excitement will rise⤴️. The tall pagoda and luxurious decorations are magnificent, and you can climb up and look down on the view. However, please be careful as the stairs are steep. There were many tourists taking photos in traditional costumes. Even after returning home, everyone was envious of the place because it is well known.
