Wat Arun’s Attractive Points

✨ The magnificent central tower (Prang)
The white, tall tower is about 70m tall and is delicately decorated with broken pieces of porcelain and glass. It sparkles beautifully in the sunlight. It is perfect for taking pictures!

🌇 Night view at dusk
Wat Arun seen from across the river at sunset is truly indescribably beautiful. The best moment to take a picture of your life with the sunset and lights of Bangkok!

⛱️ Going up to the temple
You can go up the central tower by stairs. When you go up, you can see the view of downtown Bangkok and the Chao Phraya River at a glance. But be careful because the stairs are quite steep!
