Majestic Temple with Stunning Sunset Views

Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan, also known as Wat Arun or the Temple of Dawn, is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok, Thailand. Situated on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, the temple derives its name from the Hindu god Aruṇa, symbolizing the radiations of the rising sun. The distinctive prang of the temple was built in the 19th century, making it one of Thailand's most iconic landmarks.

Visitors rave about the stunning sunset views at Wat Arun. One customer arrived before sunset and described the sky transitioning from orange to pinkish-purple, creating a majestic backdrop for the temple. The intricate details of the temple come alive during this time, making it a must-visit experience in Bangkok.
