Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan, or the Temple of Dawn, is a captivating Bangkok landmark easily accessible by the Chao Phraya Express Boat, with wheelchair access limited to ground levels due to stairs on the main prang. Visitors can explore independently or join a guided tour for historical insights, often combined with other riverside attractions. The temple is open year-round, but the cooler, dry season (November-February) is ideal to avoid intense heat, and a late afternoon visit is recommended for spectacular sunset views. Expect an approximate foreign entrance fee of 100-200 THB, plus minimal boat costs, for a typical visit duration of 1-2 hours. Remember to dress respectfully, covering shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering sacred areas.
