Dawn's Beacon: The Mesmerising Wat Arun
Stepping into the grounds of Wat Arun, or the Temple of Dawn, in bustling Bangkok was like finding a serene oasis amidst the city's energetic vibe. Standing majestically on the bank of the Chao Phraya River, the temple's iconic prang (tower) reaching for the sky is a sight that leaves you breathless.
Wat Arun, named after the Indian God of Dawn, Aruna, dates back to the Ayutthaya period but gained its distinctive architectural style during the reign of King Rama II. It's fascinating to know that this iconic monument has witnessed the ebbs and flows of Thai history, standing as a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage.
As I climbed the steep steps of the prang, I could not help but marvel at the intricate designs that adorned it. The tower is embellished with colorful porcelain, a detail that reflects the artistic excellence of the Thai people. From the top, the panoramic view of the city and the river was simply breathtaking.
Even amidst the day's heat, a cool breeze from the river provided a pleasant respite. The temple grounds were alive with the soft hum of people moving about, their voices intermingling with the gentle lapping of the river waters against the shore. It felt like being part of a living, breathing piece of history.
The grandeur of Wat Arun, its historical significance, and the tranquility it offers amidst the bustling city, made my visit an unforgettable experience. If you're an #urbanexplorer, this iconic Bangkok landmark should be at the top of your list.

A Night of Serenity at Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan
As I stepped into the enchanting grounds of Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan, the temple complex shrouded in the quietness of the night, I was transported back in time. Nestled in the heart of Chiang Mai, this majestic temple seemed to grow more mysterious and intriguing as the moon rose higher into the night sky.
Wat Phra Singh, with its rich history dating back to the 14th century, houses the remarkable Phra Singh Buddha image, believed to be modeled after the Lion of Shakya, symbolizing Buddha himself. Despite the tranquil silence that descended on the temple with the setting sun, the spiritual significance and historical resonance of this place were palpable.
Nightfall at the temple was a magical experience. Bathed in soft moonlight, the golden chedi glittered, an ethereal beacon standing proud against the starry backdrop. The quiet rustling of leaves, the distant chime of bells, and the whispered prayers of late-night worshippers added to the enchanting atmosphere.
There were no bustling markets or street food at this hour, yet the serenity and spiritual aura of Wat Phra Singh were captivating. It was a journey of introspection and peace, a deep dive into Thai culture and history that far transcended the usual tourist experience.
My visit to Wat Phra Singh was more than just a trip; it was a spiritual pilgrimage and a mesmerizing exploration of Thailand's rich heritage. This temple, especially under the cloak of night, is a must-visit for every #urbanexplorer.

Gorgeous mountain hike in Jiangyou, Sichuan!
Take the 806 stair hike (or cable car) to the top of this beautiful mountain in Sichuan, China. This Buddhist temple dates back to the mid 1700s during the Ming Dynasty. The beginning hike is very steep, taking on hundreds of stairs. If stairs aren’t your thing, take the cable car for a fair price . It is 100% worth the view at the top! At 1:30pm, a stuntman walks the cable connecting the two peaks. It’s quite the show! The top is covered with trees and cool places to rest, have some snacks, and take unforgettable pictures! #hiking #Sichuan #China #mountain #buddhisttemple #stairs
