- Anya, please donโt get overdressed when youโre in Bangkok!
- Ok ๐
Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan, or the Temple of Dawn, is one of the most famous symbols of Bangkok, famous for its ceramic and porcelain outer decorations and corncob-shaped prangs (spires), with the tallest one standing over 80 metres high.
Itโs located right on the riverbank of the Chao Phraya River, directly opposite the Grand Palace. Its name is linked to Aruna, the Hindu god of the rising sun. Itโs unclear when it was founded, but a temple was already on this site in the 17th century under the name Wat Makok.
you have time, have a look at the architectural and decorative details, like the mythical Kinnari and yaksha guardians.
๐ธAnd yes, itโs a popular spot for dressing up in traditional Siamese clothing, and the stalls here have outfits for the whole family โ even kids! Overall, we spent about 30 minutes dressing up and taking photos, as the ladies working there were super quick. However, you can hire a professional photographer there as well if you wish.
