Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun), Bangkok

4.1

#Religious Site, #Tourist Spot, #Must See

Admire the grand and evocative design of Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun), a towering Buddhist temple located in the heart of Bangkok. Established in the 1600s--but gaining its distinctive porcelain-clad prangs (spires) during the reign of King Rama II in the early 19th century--the temple represents an apex of religious architecture and is one of the best maintained of all buildings commissioned by the Thai monarchy. Open to the public as a place of worship and tourism, the site contains prized artifacts relating to the religious and royal history of Thailand.

O templo é lindo, mas não é possível visitar dentro então a visita é bem rápida. Custou 50bahts e vale a passagem. more »

The temple is beautiful, but it is not possible to visit inside so the visit is very fast. 50bahts cost and worth the ticket.
