A symbol of beauty towering along the Chao Phraya River, the exotic temple "Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)"

Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) is one of Bangkok's iconic tourist attractions.
Standing on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, it is a temple with a striking presence, clearly visible from the opposite bank where Wat Pho and the Grand Palace area are located.

🌅【A Fusion of Hinduism and Khmer Style】
The greatest charm of Wat Arun lies in the beauty of its Khmer-style pagoda and decorations influenced by Hinduism.
The main prang (tower) is about 80 meters tall and is densely adorned with intricate ceramic mosaic decorations.
The colorful decorations on a white base stand out beautifully against the blue sky, making it perfect for those who want to capture a photogenic shot!

🪷【Recommended Times to Visit】
- Early morning and dusk are the best times when the tower is bathed in sunlight and glows golden, revealing why it is called the "Temple of Dawn."
- At night, it is illuminated, and its view from along the river is both magical and romantic.

📍【Access Information】
- From BTS Saphan Taksin Station, take a boat and get off at the Tha Tien Pier, then cross the river by ferry to reach the temple.
