Wat Arun, Bangkok, Thailand


Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan orWat Arun (Thai pronunciation: [wát ʔarun], "Temple of Dawn") is aBuddhist temple (wat) inBangkok Yai district ofBangkokThailand, on theThonburi west bank of theChao Phraya River. The temple derives its name from the Hindu god Aruna, often personified as the radiations of the rising sun. Wat Arun is among the best known of Thailand's landmarks and the first light of the morning reflects off the surface of the temple with pearly iridescence. Although the temple had existed since at least the seventeenth century, its distinctive prang (spires) were built in the early nineteenth century during the reign of King Rama II.

The temple is an architectural representation of Mount Meru, the center of the universe in Buddhist cosmology. Despite it’s name, the best views of Wat Arun are in the evening with the sun setting behind it.
