Wat Arun Temple in Bangkok - Known as the Temple of Dawn !!
Wat Arun Buddhist Temple is in Bangkok , Thailand also known as the Temple of Dawn can be seen from the West bank of the Chao Phraya River that runs through the Bangkok city. The Wat Arun Temple is an ancient temple dating back to the Ayutthaya Period the Ayutthayan period was 1351–1767 so it is most definitely a very ancient temple.
Wat Arun Ratchawararam, meaning Temple of Dawn, is the most beautiful-less and most famous temple in Thailand soaring to 70 meter high spiral towers decorated with tiny pieces all colored glass and Chinese porcelain making it a very photogenic temple.
I have been wanting to visit this temple for a long time it had been under restoration for a while so not long ago that was all completed so i decided to take the boat over there today after getting of the sky-train a very short boat ride easy temple to get to very accessible by boat, bus and taxis. As a tourist and been holy grounds just need be respectful specially in the clothes you wear as for ladies long skirts and don't show to much skin if you turn up with shorts you can hire a long wrap around skirt at the temple at a very low cost and entrance fee is also a very low cost about $2 US.
I have got to say it is one of the most stunning temples i have ever seen in Thailand the architectural is amazing the coloring of the tiny pieces of glass and porcelain is just breathtaking could never image the amount of man hours that when into gluing or cementing all those tiny pieces onto them spiral towers.
You can climb the central prang if you wish but be warned the steps are very steep even though their are railing on the sides to hang on to you would not want to be a faith hearted because even coming back down can be very tricky but once at the highest point the views are sensational you can see the whole of the Chao Phraya River winding around plus the awesome views of the Bangkok city. Unfortunately today they had the staircases close due to many tourist on site will have to go back during the week when it is not so busy as weekends i have got to check out that view.
The landscaping around the temple are just spectacular and beautiful very well kept and manicured they do have a couple of coffee shops on the premises just right for @c0ff33a he would feel at home there sitting by the river watching that sunset light up the temple.
I had definitely picked the right day to visit the temple extremely lovely blue skies with the sun glimmering of the temples spiral towers any my bald skull also glaring like a red tomato but never mind i was enjoying myself the day had reached the part i was longing to see the sunset over the "Temple of Dawn."
Just amazing i certainly left very content and very impressed it will be implanted in my memory bank forever so extraordinarily i could have spend more hours exploring the temple and surrounding places. Very peaceful and joyous experience.

!STOP!great pics! resteemed!
Those are incredible pictures of an incredible place.
This post definitely isn't getting the attention it deserves yet so I've also resteemed it :)
I'd really like to see another post like this for the big reclining Buddah or Watt Phra Kaew if you're in the area
Yes it is sad and discouraging when a good post goes by unnoticed hopefully it will get some more attention it's only early yet. I do intend to get to the reclining Buddah it is another temple i have in mind to visit. Thank you for the resteem :)
I really liked this post and will be looking out for more :)
Thank you i will be going out to see the reclining Buddha this week end coming :)

Also - there have been over 300 more votes on this post since yesterday - its good to see the attention is coming :)
Cheers hope to get there this weekend. Happy more people have taken the time to look at this post :)
Angelo! Wow! And Wow! This is the most incredible temple I have ever laid my eyes on! I have not even seen pictures of this piece of architectural artistry! How can that be?
The absolute beauty of the details, so exacting and I can only imagine what it would be like to welcome the day in as the sun comes up over that spire! Oh, there is peace in my soul just looking at it. Can you feel it? I must say that when I visit a place such as this, I am always mindful of how I dress, and out of respect, tend to dress a little more modes and in keeping with their beliefs. It is an honor that they share this with us.
I hope that this gets passed around and resteemed more as it is an incredible piece and you did an awesome job on it.
Thank you so much for sharing this and so many other wonderful pieces that you put out!

I guess I cannot say more than you have.
Absolutely stunning. The labor itself is hard to comprehend. The fact it still stands and is being maintained is amazing.
Your pictures are more than well done. You have certainly done justice to the beauty. Be sure to share the view from the steps when you go back.
Thank you @nananini for your kind words will have to get back there and certainly capture that view from the steps :)
Stunning photography, what an amazing place . I love the colours in the edit photos - just look incredible.
I would definitely love to be sitting next to the river enjoying the view and sipping a nice latte. It’s 8pm and i’m Struggling to stay awake only got 5 hours sleep last night I’m way to old to be acting like that teenybopper @saffisara
#thealliance #witness
Thank you @c0ff33a i thought you would love that idea just the very thing i did a latte by the river and watch that sunset never to old for that :)
