Wat Arun, Temple of Dawn in Bangkok ✨ – Wat Arun

<a class='topicItem' href='https://au.trip.com/moments/tag-36078-bangkok/'>#bangkok</a> Wat Arun is an iconic temple in Thailand with an imposing Khmer prang decorated with colourful bits of porcelain originally from China. The temple was named after Aruna, a Hindu God known for its radiations of the rising sun. The temple is an imposing sight on Thonburi west bank of the Chao Phraya river in Yai district. I recommend arriving before 9 am as it gets super busy afterwards. 

🎟️ 100 baht + a free little water bottle
🕰️ Opens 8.30 am - 6 pm
👚Shoulders &amp; knees should be covered. Please dress respectfully, else you’ll have to rent a Sarong at the entrance at an additional cost.
⛴️ Cross river ferry from Tha Tien Pier to Wat Arun Pier is 5 baht. Sanam Chai MRT 🚇 is closest to Tha Tien Pier. If you’re staying on the west bank of the Chao Phraya river, you can go by taxi 🚕 or tuk tuk🛺

Must go place for first time visitor to Bangkok.  The boat ride was fun, always a queue but it is quite quick.  Best time to go is near sunset time on a clear day.   There are many shops nearby to rent and dress up in the traditional Thai dress (Chut Thai) at Bht 300-500.

I’m so amazed by the majestic and spectacular view of Wat Arun. It’s such an exquisite piece of architecture. 

Location: Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan . It’s located at the West Bank of Chao Phraya River, so you need to take a boat to cross over the river. 

Suggested time 🕰️ to go: in the morning so that you’re not all hot and sweaty as well as the pictures are not over exposed. 

Opening hours: 8am- 6pm

Entrance Fee: 200baht 
Costumes with make up: 1200baht for 6 people (200baht each). Super recommended to put on traditional Thai costume as it’s would a once-in-a-lifetime unique experience  ✨

We spent around 2-3 hours there and it’s such a great place for sightseeing and photo shooting 🤩

Stepping into Wat Arun in Thailand’s traditional dress felt like a dream come true! The intricate patterns and vibrant colors of the attire perfectly complemented the stunning architecture of the Temple of Dawn. Wandering through the majestic halls, I truly felt like a princess, surrounded by the elegance of Thai culture and history. It was a magical experience blending tradition, beauty, and a touch of royalty.

Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan or Wat Arun or locally known as Wat Chaeng is a Buddhist temple in the Bangkok Yai district of Bangkok, Thailand.

Located in the west bank of the Chao Phraya river. It’s easily to find, because this temple is one of the most stunning temples in Bangkok. 

Not only because of its riverside location but also because the design is very different from the other temples you can visit in the Thai capital. Wat Arun is partly made up of colourfully decorated spires and stands majestically over the water. 

Inside the ordination hall of Wat Arun, where the walls are decorated with many intricate murals, you can view the golden Niramitr Buddha image. Wat Arun is an architectural representation of Mount Meru, the center of the world in Buddhist cosmology.

To reach this beautiful temple, From Saphan Taksin boat pier you can take a riverboat that stops at Pier 8. From here, a small shuttle boat takes you from one side of the river to the other.

The Temple Of Dawn, Bangkok🇹🇭✨

heritageplace

We had a wonderful experience visiting Wat Arun temple in Bangkok. The intricate details and unique architecture of the temple are truly impressive. The view from the river while approaching the temple is breathtaking.

The steep stairs to the top might be a bit challenging, so do wear comfortable footwear when you visit. Regarding the dress code, like most temples, shorts and miniskirts are not allowed. Don't worry though, they'll lend you a cloth to be worn like a long skirt.

We highly recommend bringing a camera to capture the beautiful scenery. If you're there for the 'gram, up your game by renting the beautiful traditional clothing available around the temple.

Wat Arun is one of the most iconic temples in Bangkok. It’s definitely a must-visit. The temple has a very unique design. It is absolutely beautiful and while photos don’t do justice, you can at least see how intricate the designs are. It doesn’t take too long to look around, max 1 hour is enough. If you’re in a rush, I believe you can see the main points in 30 minutes. 
The temple is also located right on the river so it’s very easy to get to with a ferry. Ferry is one 5 Thai baht one way. The entrance fee for the temple is 100 thai baht. 
After touring the temple, you can even take long boat river tours from here. We didn’t get to do it due to lack of time, but it’s highly recommended.

A must-visit temple in Bangkok!

As the sun dips, Wat Arun transforms. Its gilded spires blaze like liquid gold against a sky streaked with tangerine and violet, mirrored perfectly in the Chao Phraya’s still waters. For the full spectacle, claim a spot on the riverbank—where temple, sky, and river merge into one radiant dream. Sunlight ignites the tower’s intricate porcelain mosaics, their delicate patterns glowing like embers against the golden facade.  

Top tip: Pair this with a visit to the Grand Palace and Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho—the best views of Wat Arun are from Bangkok’s old town riverbanks, just a short stroll away. Arrive early to secure your vantage point. This is where Bangkok’s soul shimmers brightest.

Bangkok never fails to amaze with its perfect blend of tradition and modernity! 

Started the day soaking in the Thai tradition at Wat Arun, then dived into a world of shopping and entertainment at Siam Discovery, MBK Center, and Siam Center, each offering a unique mix of fashion, tech, and local finds. 

Ended the adventure at CentralWorld, where the city’s energy peaks with endless dining, shopping, and vibrant nightlife—truly a traveler’s paradise! 

My favourite was the visit to Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, where I got lost in a world of creativity, from contemporary art exhibitions to unique handmade crafts. The vibrant atmosphere, filled with local artists exhibition made it a truly immersive experience.

Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, is a must-visit jewel on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. Its iconic spires gleam beautifully in the sunlight, but the real magic happens at sunset when the temple glows with a golden aura.

Climbing the steep steps rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views of Bangkok and the river below. The intricate details of the temple's mosaic work are a marvel of craftsmanship, leaving visitors in awe.

How to Get There:
The easiest way to reach Wat Arun is by ferry. Take the BTS Skytrain to Saphan Taksin Station, then hop on a Chao Phraya River Express Boat to Tha Tien Pier. From there, a short ferry ride across the river will bring you right to the temple's entrance.

Whether you're seeking cultural enrichment or the perfect photo op, Wat Arun is an unforgettable Bangkok experience that radiates charm and history!
