Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, is a stunning Buddhist temple on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand. Known for its intricate decorations and towering pagoda, it's a must-see landmark. The temple complex is generally accessible, but climbing the central prang has steep steps and may not be suitable for those with mobility issues. Solo exploration is common, but guided tours are available to delve deeper into the temple's history and symbolism. There are no significant seasonal restrictions, though the heat can be intense during the hot season (March-May). The entrance fee is approximately 100 baht. A typical visit lasts 1-2 hours, allowing ample time to admire the architecture and riverside views. Dress modestly, covering shoulders and knees, as it is a religious site.
