The best place to see Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, beautifully

Wat Arun, a landmark of Bangkok, is a beautiful temple located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River.
As the evening sky begins to be painted in mysterious colors, the lights turn on, and the temple sparkling in that light is truly a spectacular sight. Especially, the central prang of Wat Arun is loved by Thai people so much that it is even engraved on the 10 baht coin. Here is the place where you can enjoy the most beautiful view of Wat Arun.

🥂Sala Rooftop Bar (Sala Rattanakosin Bangkok)🥂
- This rooftop located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River is unlike other bars, with no fences blocking the view, offering an unobstructed and most beautiful photo opportunity of Wat Arun from all directions.
Floors 1-3 operate as a hotel and restaurant, where you can see couples celebrating special occasions with a romantic dinner. Reservations are recommended for the restaurant to secure a good seat, but the rooftop bar allows walk-ins, and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. However, if you arrive around 4:30 PM before sunset, it is relatively less crowded, and if a good spot opens up, you can move there at that time.

The prices are somewhat high, but considering the view and atmosphere, it is worth the cost. I recommend arriving a bit early to experience both the sunset and the sparkling night view!

Here is the detailed address👇
(Sala Rattanakosin Bangkok), 39 Maha Rat Rd, Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200, Thailand
