Wat Arun

Wat Arun Rajwararam is a Buddhist temple in the Bangkok Yai district of Bangkok, Thailand, on the Thonburi west bank of the Chao Phraya River.
The Wat Arun is considered one of the most well known of Thailand’s many landmarks.
The temple is so named because the first light of the morning reflects off the surface of the temple with pearly iridescence.

The monastery has existed for many years since the days when Ayutthaya was capital of Thailand. At the time named Wat Mokok, situated in a place called Tumbol Bangmakok.

The existing temple was expanded to the “Emerald Buddha” to accommodate.
