You absolutely can't miss these temples in Thailand~~

Having traveled for many years, we have visited Bangkok, Thailand, multiple times. During our first visit, we felt the congestion and some of the dilapidated atmosphere of the place. However, it was only later that we discovered Bangkok has many special niche attractions that are definitely not to be missed when traveling in Thailand. The special attraction I want to share today is Wat Arun, also known as the 'Temple of Dawn,' revered as the 'Eiffel Tower of Thailand,' built to commemorate King Taksin, the 41st monarch of Thailand and a national hero. From a distance along the Chao Phraya River, you can see the highest spire of Wat Arun. Unlike many of Bangkok's glittering palaces, the main body of Wat Arun is white, inlaid with many delicate and colorful patterns, arranged in an orderly fashion, very exquisite and grand. Here are some photography tips: 1. The scenic area is not large, and it only takes about 10 minutes to capture the important features. So, enter at the opening time to take unique photos before the crowd arrives. 2. If you miss the opening time, wait patiently for the crowd to disperse and take your shots when no one is around. We also waited for over an hour to get photos without other people in them. 3. Use displacement to shoot the position of the stairs, using the foreground to cover the crowd, the upward shooting effect is very good. 4. Use a large aperture to shoot parts of the scene, blurring out the people around. ⛰【Travel Tips】 📍Detailed address: Wat Arun is located at No. 158 Wang Doem Road. 🚗Transportation tips: You can take a public boat to Wat Arun Pier, or take the MRT there. 🕙Opening hours: Daily from 8:30 to 17:30. 💰Ticket price: The ticket price is 50 Thai Baht. 📌Little Tips: When entering the temple, please dress appropriately, do not wear shorts or sleeveless vests (although it was not very strict at the time, the staff still let us in because they saw that we had come from afar).
