Wat Arun
Construction of the stunning "phra prang" (towers), which are covered in tiny pieces of colorful Chinese ceramics, was started by King Rama II (1809-1824) and completed by King Rama III (1824-1851). Temple derives its name from Hindu god which name Aruna, who often personified as radiations of the rising sun.

Though Wat Arun's main spire 'prang' are the biggest attraction, they are actually only a small part of the complex, which also hosts lovely white buildings, shrines, ponds and tiny lanes. 'Prang' was composed in height 79 meters, the temple is surrounded by four lessor Prangs, each representaing four directors of the guardians gods. Temple briefly hosted revered Emerald Buddha after it was recaptures from Laos but it moved to Wat Phra Kaew in 1784.
Wat Arun was the best known of Thailand's landmark and the first light of morning reflects off the surface of temple with pearly iridescence. From a snapper's point of view, the best place to get a shot of Wat Arun is actually from the other side of the river, particularly at sunset. Entry to temple is 100 bath and it opened daily from 8.30 am to 5.30 pm.
