Ugyen Choden
★★★★★5 months agoWat Arun Ratchawararam is a magnificent temple and one I love visiting every time I’m in Thailand. Its intricate architecture, combined with the scenic riverside surroundings, makes it truly special. The detailed craftsmanship on the temple towers is stunning, especially in natural light. The temple is easy to reach by boat across the river or by taxi/cab. I highly recommend visiting early to avoid crowds and the heat. For a memorable experience, consider renting a traditional Thai costume nearby and walking around the temple — it adds charm and makes for great photos. The entry fee is reasonable and valid for the entire day.

★★★★★a week agoStunning architecture. The naked eye can't fully comprehend how spectacular this is! The intricate details, beautiful colours... Landmark of Bangkok. You can rent traditional thai costumes and hire a photographer to take pictures for you. Little steep walk up the temple to get a better view. Quite crowded. The blue boat is chaotic and the queue is so long, do not recommend.
