Review of Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan (Wat Arun), Bangkok

Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan, commonly known as "Wat Arun," is an ancient temple that has been an important part of the city’s history since the reign of King Rama I. The beauty of this temple is reflected through its exquisite Thai architectural style, especially the "Wat Arun Prang" that stands tall by the Chao Phraya River, becoming one of Bangkok’s iconic landmarks.

This place is one of the famous tourist attractions frequently visited by both Thai and international travelers. Its peaceful and beautiful atmosphere makes it perfect for photography and paying respects to pray for blessings and good fortune.

A must-see highlight:
Is the "passing through the ordination hall of King Taksin the Great," which is believed to enhance luck, bring blessings, and open the path to a better life. Those starting something new or wishing for a smooth life often come to perform this ritual to ask for the king’s blessings.

Overall, Wat Arun is not only a sacred place but also a valuable cultural and historical learning site that is highly recommended to visit.
