This post has been sitting in my drafts for a while, it would be a shame to let the image of the beautiful place to go to waste.
As a frequent traveller, I'm often awe-struck by elements that define the country's culture. Every visitor undoubtedly has atleast one temple on their to-do list, so it's not surprise that it becomes quite busy. Temples in Thailand is like the decadent core of a Lindt chocolate, hard to get to but satisfied with the indulgence.
Wat Arun possessed a grandiose that made every individual gasp and exclaim from the magnificence in front of them. Each edge was licked with gold that reflected the beaming mid-afternoon sun. An indicator that shows Wat Arun was suitable for young and old, is it's ability to render children quiet followed by their inquisitive questions about the intricate detailing, structure and history that went into building it hundreds of years ago.
Wat Arun is conveniently next to Wat Pho therefore it's ideal to go to both destinations on the same day- I recommend having a day purely dedicated to temples. If your days are limited or whether you want to manage your time wisely I recommend visiting the temples in the morning and when returning to the same peer, head towards the Asiantique dock which is next to where you get let off.
Remember! Bring some long trousers in your bag to wear when you get it or you can purchase the iconic Thailand patterned themed trousers which are really comfortable and thin. It would also be a good memorabilia of the trip.
