🇹🇭Wat Arun, a landmark temple in Bangkok, Thailand

Wat Arun, standing tall on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, is a magnificent temple that stands out even from afar. True to its name, the Temple of Dawn, the early morning view of the sun rising over the river, bathing the pagoda in golden light, is truly breathtaking.
The central pagoda is adorned with white porcelain pieces and colorful glass, revealing intricate details and ornate details up close. Climbing the steep stairs to the top offers panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River and downtown Bangkok, making the climb worthwhile. During the day, it's a great way to combine a visit with Wat Pho and the Grand Palace across the river. In the evening, gazing at the illuminated Wat Arun from a riverside cafe is an unforgettable experience.
