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. Put Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun) and other Bangkok attractions into our Bangkok trip itinerary builder, and watch your holiday take shape.

August 18, 2017Steile Treppen. Und ein Haufen Mosaik. Mehr ist es leider nicht. Die Anlage drum herum ist sehr schön und gepflegt. Gehört irgendwie dazu wenn man eine Tempel Tour durch Bangkok macht. more »

August 18, 2017白色をベースに、色とりどりの飾りが埋め込まれています。 ワットポーとはまた違った綺麗さがあります。 ここへは、ワットポーの近くの舟乗り場からひとり3.5バーツで渡し舟に乗りました。 チャオプラヤ川は茶色く濁り、 また、多くの舟が行き交うので、結構揺れます。 ワットアルンの入場料は50バーツでした。 地元の学生が先生と一緒に、絵描きの勉強をされていて、地元の人からも人気のお寺だということが伺えました... more »
White based on embedded colorful decorations. Wat Pho and also beautiful and different. The rode a ferry with one 3.5 baht from the boat pier near Wat Pho. Chao Phraya River is turbid Brown, and many boats come and go, so it Wiggles. Arun admission is 50 baht. This suggests that local students were studying painting with teachers from the local people is a popular Temple.View original

August 24, 2017Really awe-inspiring and unique looking temple. Very easily accessed by water ferry, which is only 10-12 baht. Cool view of the river, and next to a well-kept beautiful garden. This is not the type of temple where you go in; you walk around the outside of it. Makes for excellent and majestic-looking photos. Make sure your knees and shoulders are covered or you won't be let in.

September 7, 2017Really nice and clean temple. It is still being renovated tough. It is better to visit Wat Arun before sunset. So romantic!

July 2, 2017This is across the river and you need to take a 3.5 baht ferry to reach from the grand palace side. This is picturesque and being by the riverside makes it even special. The construction is intricate and beautiful. You can have your wish fulfilled by tying a bell just outside! An important note is, the place closes at 6 pm and not 530 as stated several places.

August 27, 2017Reasonable entrance fee of 50 baht for foreigners. The place looks very beautiful in photos but it is even more beautiful in person. Definitely a must-visit place for tourists in Bangkok.
