Morning Dawn Temple

One of the most striking sights in Bangkok is the Temple of the Morning Dawn (Wat Arun). It is located in the Tonburi district in the central part of Bangkok on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. You can get to the temple by ferry from the pier Tha Tien.

The name itself suggests that at dawn the temple looks particularly impressive. The central tower, 79 meters high, is built in Khmer style and decorated with colored porcelain elements. From the observation deck of the main tower offers an amazing view of Bangkok.

On the territory of the temple complex you can see many sculptures of Buddhist and Hindu gods and demons.
