Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)
Bangkok's most cinematic temple — porcelain spire on the Chao Phraya at its most magical at golden hour.
About this place
Rising from the west bank of the Chao Phraya, Wat Arun is Bangkok's most cinematic temple — its ornate corn-cob spire covered in porcelain fragments that catch the light at every hour differently. Best visited at golden hour when the river reflects the temple's silhouette. Take the 3-baht ferry from Tha Tien Pier.
