Sights at Wat Arun, Bangkok, Thailand
Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan or Wat Arun is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok Yai district of Bangkok, Thailand, on the Thonburi west bank of the Chao Phraya River. The temple derives its name from the Hindu god Aruna, often personified as the radiations of the rising sun. This temple is one of the most visible of all the temples in Bangkok.
After a busy day of sightseeing, my friends went to a shopping mall and Heather stayed in the hotel room to cool off. Since I have no sense I went out into the brutal sun to visit Wat Arun. I took the water bus right to the temple and just walked around. The place is very impressive - the architecture and decorations are incredible. Wow! I somehow took a wrong turn and ended up in some sections of the complex where there were no other people - very nice. This is one place I would definitely go back to.
I took these photos in April 2019.
