Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)
Best time to visit
Early morning before 9:00 for soft light and far fewer visitors; alternatively arrive 30–45 minutes before sunset for dramatic silhouettes, but expect larger crowds.
Budget tips
Entry is about 100 THB for foreign visitors, Thai nationals often pay less or enter free; pay on site in cash or card and keep small notes for boat fares. Save by viewing the temple exterior from the opposite riverbank at night, and use a Chao Phraya Express or daily riverpass to cut transport costs.

About
快速信息: 登上高聳的中央佛塔，可以看到無數彩瓷和碎貝拼貼出的閃爍紋理，陽光下像馬賽克般反射光芒。從河畔望去，燈光在夜色中勾勒出纖細輪廓，讓人忍不住多拍幾張照片並細細端詳每處雕飾。
亮点: 中央的主塔高约80米，塔身由成千上万块中国瓷片和贝壳拼贴成马赛克，清晨的阳光照上去会闪出细碎的彩色光点，像千万颗小镜子在水面上反射。当地人常在黎明和黄昏登上那几处狭窄陡峭的阶梯，靠着栏杆听船桨拍水和僧侣诵经，少有人知道有层小平台可以近距离触摸带有青花图案的瓷片。
Insider tips
- Wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees to respect temple rules and avoid being turned away from shrine areas.
- Use the ferry from Tha Tien to the opposite bank for the best photo compositions of the prang and river, especially at sunset.
- Take care on the steep, uneven central steps, wear sturdy shoes and hold the railing, avoid backpacks when climbing.
- Combine with Wat Pho and the Grand Palace via river taxi to minimise walking and queue time at each site.

4.5Arrived at 7:30am and had very few people; 100 baht entry was fair. Climbing the central prang for the city view was totally worth it, skip the pricey souvenir stalls.
Went around 2pm and it was packed, long wait to climb. 100 baht plus ferry fee, stunning architecture but not worth the crowd and limited photo spots.
