The temple is picturesque. It's covered in colored tile like material. Be careful, especially for the elderly and kids, because some of the stairs are steep and not accompanied with railings. Not too crowded and not as expensive as the grand palace. Do visit in the morning when the weather is nice and not too hot. If you visit at noon, it would be scorching hot.

My visit to the Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun) was one of the most picturesque and serene experiences during our trip to Bangkok. This iconic riverside temple, with its towering spires and stunning riverside views, provided a perfect blend of cultural exploration and breathtaking beauty for me and my friends. Very beautiful, detailed and intricate architecture. Dress Code: Like other temples, Wat Arun has a dress code, requiring shoulders and knees to be covered. Plz do visit this place.

It was religious place, nice view and architecture marvel of Thailand. You have to visit in the evening to get the nice view.if you go to dinner cruise, you can get the view. 200 bhat ticket and you can spend good time there. Also you can wear transitional dress and take pictures or hire photographers there. You have to wear long sleeves cloths for these temples and it was worth visiting if you are in Bangkok

A very beautiful temple among all the temples in Bangkok. Preferable time to visit is early morning 8am (opens)or the late evening 6pm (Closes). It looks best in the evening though. the entry fee is 200baht when I visit (15 September 2024). If you have many temple options then this should be your first priority.

Wat Arun is an absolute must-see in Bangkok! The intricate details of the temple are breathtaking, with its stunning architecture and beautiful riverside location. The views from the temple, especially at sunset, are mesmerizing. It’s a great place to immerse yourself in Thai culture and history, with plenty of photo opportunities. Make sure to dress appropriately and be ready to climb some steep steps for the best views. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bangkok

If you're in Thailand then Wat Arun is a must visit place. It's a temple. The ticket is around 200 B when we visit. The view is Majestic and peaceful. You need to give proper time just to see the beauty it holds. If you want then you can buy Traditional dress also, for that shops are also there inside and outside both. May be my photo is unable to show the beauty of this place.

Wat Arun is undeniably beautiful, with breathtaking views that make it a must-see in Bangkok. However, the experience is somewhat dampened by long waiting times for boats to the temple, which can feel frustrating. Once there, it’s often very crowded, making it hard to capture good photos. Despite these challenges, the stunning architecture and river view are worth the visit, even if the experience requires a bit of patience.

It’s from some of the most famous and most visited places in Bangkok and it’s always full of tourists and it’s really a must visit place. You can try wearing traditional Thai dress and click pictures. The temple is very beautiful and amazing. You can also enjoy the boat ride from the backside of temple. Many cafes are also available inside where you can enjoy the food.
