Enjoy Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, to the fullest! A photo walk around the main pagoda, white hall, and lotus pond

[Access] 5 minutes by boat from BTS Saphan Taksin Station to Wat Arun Pier. Pay the admission fee of 200B in cash at the wooden window immediately after getting off the boat. Be prepared as no cards are accepted. [Route of Sightseeing Spots] 1. Main Tower Phra Prang Approximately 80m high. Backlighting is unlikely until around 10am, and the luster of the mosaics is most vivid. You can climb the steep staircase halfway up for an excellent view. 2. White Temple Ubosot Built during the period of Rama II, the interior and exterior are unified in white with gold decorations. Note the wooden carved Garuda above the door. 3. Lotus Pots and Colonnades The lotus pots surrounding the White Temple are a great photo spot. If you shorten the focal length, the columns will continue behind the lotuses, emphasizing the depth. 4. Sub-tower across the river When you go up to the upper terrace, you can see the Chao Phraya River and the Grand Palace over the sub-tower. In the afternoon, the light is direct, so it is easy to take photos. [Etiquette for worship] In the temple grounds, you must wear clothes that cover your shoulders and knees. Sneakers are recommended as the stairs are slippery. Drones, tripods, and large selfie sticks are prohibited. [Time required] It takes about 60 to 90 minutes including photography. There are cafes lined up near the dock, so it is efficient to take a break by the river after taking photos in the soft morning light. [Summary] As its name means dawn, Wat Arun, where the white and jade-colored ceramic mosaics shine in the morning sun, is a must-visit spot. In addition to the power of the main tower, you can take a variety of photos in one place, such as the tranquil white hall, the fresh lotus bowl, and the river view. For an investment of 200B, you can take a photo of a lifetime, so get up early and go. --- #WatArun #BangkokTrip #TempleofDawn #PhotoSpot #TourThaiTemples #BangkokTourism #ThaiTourism #ThaiTrip #BangkokTourism
