Meet the Golden Buddha of Bangkok at Wat Arun – A Mysterious Scenery at Dawn​

#Southeast Asia Travel A must-see attraction in Bangkok, Wat Arun, nicknamed the ‘Temple of Dawn’, shines even more mysteriously with the sunrise. Standing tall at the point where the Mekong River and the Chao Phraya River meet, this temple is impressive with its 80-meter-tall central spire and sparkling ceramic decorations. If you climb the stairs to the top, you can see the Bangkok cityscape and the riverside scenery at a glance, and the golden glow when the sunset is especially spectacular. The admission fee is cheap at 100 baht (about 3,500 won), but you must take off your shoes and quietly observe the inside of the temple. There is also a local experience of crossing the river on a small boat. If you visit it together with the nearby Grand Palace, it becomes a perfect cultural tour. Taking pictures in traditional costumes is also a popular activity. Wat Arun is not just a tourist attraction, but a special place where you can feel the spiritual energy of Thailand. It will be an even more moving experience if you visit at dawn or dusk.
