What RADX AI Says
The 'Temple of Dawn' — a 70 m spire clad in Chinese porcelain and seashells, at its most beautiful in the last hour before sunset.
Overview
Wat Arun Ratchawararam — the Temple of Dawn — rises 70 metres on the west bank of the Chao Phraya opposite the Grand Palace. Its central prang, encrusted with fragments of Chinese porcelain and seashells brought as ballast on 19th-century trading ships, is climbable via steep steps for a stunning riverside view. Take the 3-baht cross-river ferry from Tha Tien pier. Photographers should stay for sunset when the western façade catches the last light.
