Wat Arun

Wat Arun is one of Bangkok's main Buddhist temples. Its name means Temple of Dawn or Temple of Dawn.

With 82 meters of height, its central tower (prang) is the highest one of Bangkok. The architecture of the temple is Khmer style and reminiscent of Cambodian temples. In the corners of the temple are placed four prangs of smaller height. All towers of Wat Arun are decorated with Chinese porcelain.

It is advisable to visit the same day we visit the Royal Palace and Wat Pho. They are very close to each other and give enough time to visit everything.
