🧳🇹🇭🧳 BANGKOK, THAILAND - February 27, 2019 - Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan (Thai: วัดอรุณราชวราราม ราชวรมหาวิหาร)

Let’s just call it Wat Arun or Temple of Dawn. One would think after seeing many temples in Chiang Mai, I would be overwhelmed by temples. No way! I spend an entire day seeing the two biggest and some would say most important in Bangkok.

First, Wat Arun located on the Chao Phraya River is one of Thailand’s best known landmarks. Dating from the 17th century, the present temple is from the 19th and restored in 2017. I’ve wanted to see this place for many years.
