Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, is a famous Buddhist temple in Bangkok. Its distinctive feature is a central prang adorned with colourful porcelain, standing tall along the Chao Phraya River.

It is one of the most visited temples in Bangkok.

You can rent traditional Thai outfits for photoshoots next to the entrance and on the road behind it.

There's shuttle boats to take you across the river for 5 baht.

A tip is to visit Wat Arun in the early evening and then go back across the river to watch the SUNSET from the other side of the river. This will give you a view of the sun setting behind the temple and afterwards the whole temple will light up, which it does every night.

ENTRY FEE: 200 baht.
