Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun), Bangkok

Beautiful temple and surrounding area, one of the best. Great photos are guaranteed. The last time we visited, I willingly donated around 1,000 baht and bought from vendors without being pressured, It’s nice to have this choice. Security have since expanded their territory. To enter the whole area including the neighbouring temple and greenery it costs 100 Baht from anyone not Thai. Thai people like my wife and baby can get in for free.

It is a must see while you are here. I have been there over 4 times as it is just so beautiful. There are usually a lot of people early in the day but less as the day goes on. Try to see it at night all lit up. Pictures do not do it justice. There are nice restaurants and hotels across the river to see it at night. Not a lot of food nearby and basically have to cross the river by boat at some point. Shoulders and knees must be covered
