Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, is one of Bangkok's most iconic landmarks. Situated on the Thonburi west bank of the Chao Phraya River, this stunning temple is renowned for its towering prang (spire), which stands at around 70 meters tall and is intricately adorned with colorful porcelain and seashells. Wat Arun's unique design sets it apart from other temples in Thailand, making it a must-visit for both tourists and locals. The temple is especially captivating at sunrise and sunset when it glows with a magical light, reflecting its name.
