If I could only visit one temple in Bangkok, I would choose Wat Arun.

Wat Arun, also known as the Temple on the Chao Phraya River, was built to commemorate the national hero King Taksin, the 41st king of Thailand. Compared to many other temples that shine with gold, the white-based Wat Arun is very special and elegant. The area of ​​the temple itself is not very large, and you can see everything in just a few minutes, so it won't take up much time, but it's sure to be photogenic. Photo tips: If you want to take photos in Thai traditional costumes, choose light-colored clothes to blend in with the background, and bright-colored clothes to stand out as the main character among the white temples. Choose according to your preference. Must-take spots: Take a photo of the temple across the river before arriving at the temple's dock, take a few photos on the green grass in front of the temple entrance, stand on the temple steps and take a photo from the bottom up, and take a photo of the person standing on the steps from the side, and capture the entire building in the frame to take a very atmospheric photo. Basic information: Opening hours: 08:30-17:30 Admission fee: 50 baht Address: 158 Wang Doem Road I Wat Arun, Bang Kok Yai Transportation: Take a bus boat to Wat Arun's pier and arrive there. Note ⚠️: When entering the temple, be sure to dress appropriately and avoid shorts and tank tops. #ThailandTrip #ThaiSummerNeverEnds #ThaiCool #TravelGuide #Bangkok #BangkokTrip
