Towering over the west banks of the Chao Phraya River is the Temple of Dawn, locally known as Wat Arun. This majestic spiral tower structure has one of the most beguiling temple designs found in Thailand.
The tower is over 260 feet high and has three floors, each representing either heaven, earth, or hell. Many of the walls of the temple are engraved with script and detailed murals. Surrounded by the river bank, visitors will find that the temple has a sense of peace and calm, especially at sunset when the river bank and the tower light up as the sun reflects the colorful glass pieces and Chinese porcelain.
