Thailand Bangkok | Wat Arun, where sunlight gilds the temple.

Come to the riverside to see a temple that glows ✨ 🌟 Why visit? • A must-visit in Bangkok! It's almost a rite of passage to take photos at Wat Arun 🤣 • It's featured on Thai currency (10 Baht coin) • Enjoy the riverside breeze; taking a boat here is super easy (though the river is a bit dirty, which scared me a little haha) • Dress modestly, and you can take magazine-worthy photos 📸 🛕 The white spire of Wat Arun glistens under the sunlight. The stairs are quite steep, and every step feels like climbing to the sky. The higher you go, the better the view, offering a direct overlook of the Chao Phraya River. Tips: 👉🏻 For the best photos, visit on a sunny day and wear traditional Thai attire—it looks stunning! 👉🏻 Hiring a photographer is recommended for perfect angles and spots, but if you're not picky, you can do what we did: mix and match your outfits and take your own photos! 📝 Experience Review: ✨ A perfect blend of culture and scenic beauty. ✨ Ideal for photo enthusiasts and travel diary lovers. Cons: The stairs are really steep... If you're wearing a long skirt, be careful 😆 Also, remember to bring a shawl to cover your knees or waist (they provide some there, but donations are required). 📌 Information: Address: Wat Arun, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok Opening Hours: 08:00–18:00 Ticket Price: 200 Baht (for foreigners) Transportation: Take a boat to Tha Tien Pier, then transfer to a ferry to cross the river (the road leading in is narrow, so Grab rides might get stuck).
