Temple of Dawn
Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, is Bangkok's most recognizable landmark. Rising to a height of 82 meters, the Khmer-style temple once served as the palace and royal temple of a Thai king.

Decorated with thousands of pieces of multi-hued Chinese porcelain, the glittering prangs are an unforgettable spectacle in the morning sunlight.
