🇹🇭Wat Arun — The Temple That Glows Beyond the Chao Phraya River

Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, is one of Bangkok’s most iconic landmarks, standing gracefully by the Chao Phraya River. Its shimmering porcelain-decorated spires glow beautifully under the sunlight and turn golden during sunset — a photographer’s dream.

Visitors can climb the steep central prang for panoramic river views and admire the intricate carvings that reflect Thailand’s rich artistry.

💰 Entrance fee:
100 THB per person

💡 Tip:
Visit around 5 PM for the golden glow, and stay till the lights turn on — the reflection on the river is simply stunning.
