Wat Arun - Temple of the Dawn

Wat Arun on from the Chao Phraya River (not my picture, it's from wikipedia)


Wat Arun is yet another beautiful Buddhist temple in Bangkok. It's built with Khmer style architecture and for most people you'll need to take some ferries to reach it. I walked over to the ferries right after visiting the Bangkok Palace. You'll need to take a few ferries as they go back and forth until you reach Wat Arun. Don't worry, the ferries are super cheap.

One of the ferries I took

Thais used to be water lords. This river used to be filled with traders.

hey dude, great pictures! now to more important matters, keep jinxing her football picks! there's actually going to be 3 or more weeks left of pools because of the bowls and play offs so it's not over yet. She said she wasn't going to tell you so that you don't jinx her. Thanks!
