Must see in Bangkok #2: Wat Arun

in #travel7 years ago

Take a tuk tuk or a taxi from the old centre and back. It’s fast and will save you a lot of time and energy. We were planning on walking there, but once we got at the piers, we were defeated by the heat and decided to try tuk tuks. They may end up being more expensive that the taxi, but then the tuk tuks are an experience themselves. They can sneak into the traffic super easy and you win lots of time. You may also take the boat across the river – ignore the people trying to offer you boat cruises!

Wat Arun is one of the most famous landmarks of Bangkok. Its spire is 70 metres high, decorated with pieces of colored glass and Chinese porcelain. If you can stand the heat, explore around. There’s stairs everywhere, so take advantage of the different angles and views you get from the highest ones. It is possible to climb the stair on it, but while we were there, there were some renovations taking place. We did not have the chance to see Wat Arun at night, but from the photos it looks breathtaking!
