Wow, such a powerful location. Beautiful architecture, you can feel the spirit of this wonderful place. Dress conservatively, but if you don't they have loaner wraps.

Wat Arun is considered by many as one of the most beautiful temples in Thailand. 🕌It’s almost directly opposite The Grand Palace, so it is very easy to get to. (check out my previous post for the best way! 🌊) The temple has an imposing spire over 70 metres high, beautifully decorated with tiny pieces of coloured glass and Chinese porcelain placed delicately into intricate patterns.

Wat Arun is one of Bangkok's most beautiful temples and a must visit whenever in this beautiful city.

Wat Arun is a beautiful temple on the west bank of the Chao Phraya river in and easily one of the most stunning temples in Bangkok, not only because of its riverside location but also because the design is very different from the other temples you can visit in Bangkok.

I came to Bangkok several times for various reasons and didn't go to the Temple of Zheng Wang. This time I finally got to work with my friends to come to Zhengwang Temple! Bangkok is not big, it is not small. It is not recommended to take a taxi and it is easy to catch a car. Compared with the Grand Palace, I actually like it more!

Additional Information
Introduction
Wat Arun is a prominent Buddhist temple located along the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok Yai District. It is one of the few temples that remain from Thailand’s Chakri dynasty. The temple’s most distinctive feature is the central Khmer-style tower. Glazed porcelain tiles and seashells cover the exterior, giving the entire complex a brilliant shine, particularly in the early morning light. For many years Wat Arun housed the famous Emerald Buddha, before it was moved to Wat Phra Kaew in 1785. As one of Bangkok’s beloved temples, this is certainly an attraction visitors won’t want to miss.

The temple is really beautiful with golden light during the night time and the scenery is stunning. I’d love to go back there again. #Bangkok
Not the usual temple though. Best for Instagram photos. ❤️
Waoo this is an amazing place whereby I spend my prayer time with my family during holiday
Wat Arun is one of my favorite in Bangkok! It is spectacularly beautiful and picturesque. Absolutely stunning. It can be a bit crowded, but with a little effort you can still get plenty of pictures without tourists in them. The detail on the pyres is incredible. I went mid-day but I bet this place would be spectacular at sunset! definitely recommend taking the ferry over here and checking this important Wat out!
