• Wat Arun

The iconic Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, is on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River opposite the Grand Palace.
The most attracting feature of the temple is its 79 meters high tower, covered with millions of Chinese porcelain and colored glass fragments which glows differently at the different times of day. Visitors can climb the steep steps of the tower to a terrace halfway up to enjoy the magnificent scenery. Reach the temple using a cross-river ferry from the Tha Tien pier near Wat Pho, preferably at sunset when the “lighted” tower is mesmerizing.
