Take you to get to know "Wat Chaeng". Is there really a giant?

🙏🏻 Hello, friends. How well do you know the temples in Bangkok? Did you know that temples with long names also have nicknames? 😀

🛺 Today, I'll take you to Wat Chaeng. Hey!! Why have I never heard of this temple? I guarantee that if I tell you the full name, you'll know it for sure.

📍 Wat Arun Ratchawanaram or Wat Chaeng, the origin is "Arun", which means early morning, when the sun rises. Hey!! Why is it called this? In the past, from what Gammy learned, the teacher said that when King Taksin gathered his relatives to save the country from Burma, he took a boat from Chanthaburi and rowed until it was just dawn here, so this temple was called Wat Chaeng.

☀️ There are two giants guarding the door at this temple. Everyone comes to take pictures here. Foreigners love this temple very much because it is made from small tiles that are combined to create beautiful and delicate patterns.

🛶 Travel: It's very convenient to come by boat. The boat will stop at various piers and the temples are right next to each other.
