of Dawn or Wat Arun |
| |
Located on the west bank of
the Chao Phraya River with Arun Amarin Road
at its back, it can be reached by boat from
Tha Chang Pier near Wat Phra Kaeo or Tha Tian
Pier near Wat
Pho. Constructed in the 17th century,
it is attractive in its striking prangs (a
kind of pagoda) which are decorated with millions
of pieces of Chinese porcelain. |
Its central prang, at a height of 82
metres (20-storey building) is the tallest
prang of Thailand. Visitors can climb
up to a high level to have a good view
of the Chao Phraya River and the nearby
surroundings. Anyway, the most beautiful
view of it is from the east bank of the
river at sunset.
