Wat Arun is one of Bangkok’s most stunning and iconic temples, and seeing it in person is truly impressive.

Wat Arun is stunning at night. Besides visiting during the day, I recommend watching the sunset from Wat Pho Pier. Crowds flock here to watch the sunset and Wat Arun in the evening and at night. Don't miss it!

I did not expect this place to be situated right along the alley where we had our lunch in Bangkok.
I just strolled along the alley until a reach the end of it and there it shows the view of Wat Arun across the river.
It was convenient. I thought that watching the temple from afar makes me appreciate its design and splendor more.
The alley is located across the the Wat Pho complex and right along the Somtum Der, Tha Tien restaurant.

Beautiful temple built right on the river with amazing views all around. Perfect for photos.
There are many shops nearby that rents out traditional Thai wear. You must take that. It’s a great experience.
A ferry ride from here takes you to Wat Pho. It feels like a totally different place.
