The first thing that strikes me is, of course, his appearance. The snow-white silhouette towering over the Chao Phraya River, decorated with thousands of colorful pieces of porcelain and glass, creates a unique effect. Wat Arun is especially beautiful at sunset, when the sun turns it golden. You can also learn more about the history and culture of Thailand, feel the atmosphere of tranquility and tranquility.
Please note that Wat Arun is a very popular place, so there are almost always a lot of tourists here, we were in the morning and there weren't many people, so if you want to walk outside the crowd, then plan a trip to the opening.
When visiting the temple, the dress code (closed shoulders and knees) must be observed, otherwise you will not be allowed in.
Overall, Wat Arun is a must–visit destination in Bangkok. This is not just a temple, it is a real work of art that will leave an unforgettable impression! I recommend visiting it at sunset to see all the beauty in the golden light of the setting sun.
It's a very beautiful temple, but there are a lot of crazy people. The prices on the market are very pleasant. Girls, if you come in a short skirt or shorts, don't worry, they will tie a handkerchief very politely and correctly.

The unique architecture - the piercing height of the central spire (prang) and its four satellites on the sides inlaid with mosaic porcelain and shells look amazing, the rays of the sun are reflected in the mosaic and illuminate the surface. It's an amazing sight! It is better to visit in the morning, you can wander around in peace, it is very sparsely populated. Admiring the temple at sunset is necessary from the opposite shore, as it seems to me it is best from the pier. Sunsets can be magical.
