🇹🇭Bangkok Beats and Bites🇹🇭
We visitied the famous temple of Wat Arun💙Here there were lots of people dressed in traditional Thai Costume for photo opportunites😍

Wat Arun is one of Bangkok's most important Buddhist temples. It's named after Aruna, the Hindu god of dawn, and its distinctive spires, or "prang" make it one of Thailand's most identifiable landmarks.

At around 82 m (270 feet) in height, the central prang of the Wat Arun Temple is the highest in Bangkok. The Temple of Dawn, as it's alternatively known, was constructed in the style of Khmer architecture, recalling the sanctuaries of Cambodia. The tallest central prang is said to represent Mount Meru, which is the center of the world in Tibetan Buddhist cosmology, with the four surrounding smaller prangs each housing images of the four guardian gods.

All five prangs are covered in porcelain mosaics and bits of seashells which give the temple a gleaming iridescence when the rising sun illuminates it at dawn. Up close, you'll see that the tiles are decorated with exquisite floral patterns of many different colors; and inside the bot, or ordination hall, you'll find a number of impressive murals depicting scenes from the life of the royals.

✅There are so many photo spots to parade your Thai Costume, make sure to rent one from the shops outside and enjoy the visit as well.
