Sunny Splendor🏛️

Wat Arun, aka the "Temple of Dawn," is an absolute Bangkok ICON 🌅✨ If you’re vibing on the west side of the Chao Phraya River, you can’t miss its stunning central spire (prang) that’s totally blinged out with colorful porcelain tiles and seashells. Seriously, this spot shines sooo bright in the sunshine—your selfies will be next level! 🤩 Fun fact: Wat Arun is named after Aruna, the Hindu god of dawn, and trust me, the sunrise and sunset views here hit different. You get some vibes from the Khmer architectural style, and the details are just chef’s kiss. Location vibes? Find Wat Arun at 158 Thanon Wang Doem, Wat Arun, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok 10600, Thailand. Roll up anytime between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM year-round—the place is always open for culture lovers and adventure seekers. (Heads up: Entry is 211.38 TH
