A special temple that you should definitely visit on your trip to Thailand, beautiful from any angle!

Over the years of travel, I have visited Bangkok, Thailand several times. When I went there for the first time, I felt that this place was very crowded and a bit old, but when I revisited, I found that there are so many special hidden spots in Bangkok😍. It is a place that you definitely can't miss when traveling to Thailand! 🙋Today I would like to introduce Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn. It is also known as the "Eiffel Tower of Thailand" and commemorates the national hero King Thonburi, the 41st king of Thailand. It features the tall spire of Wat Arun, which can be seen from the Chao Phraya River in the distance. ✨Many palaces in Bangkok are shining with gold, but Wat Arun is different. The main body is white and is sprinkled with many small colorful patterns, which are very exquisite and magnificent! ! 📷Photography tips: 1⃣The tourist spot is not very large, so you can take pictures of the main characteristic scenery in 10 minutes. Enter immediately after opening and take your own wonderful photos before there are people around. 2⃣If you can't come right after opening, wait for the crowd to clear out and capture the moment. We waited for over an hour to get a photo without other people. 3⃣Take advantage of the position of the stairs to hide people in the foreground and shoot at an elevated angle for a great effect. 4⃣Shoot partially with a large aperture to blur the people around you. Tips: 📍Location: Wat Arun, No. 158 Wang Doom Road 💰Admission Fee: 50 baht 🕐Time: 8:30–17:30 🚗Transportation: Take a bus boat to Wat Arun Pier or you can also take the MRT. ‼️Note: Appropriate attire is required when entering the temple. Avoid shorts and sleeveless (but they weren't strict when we visited and let us in considering that we came from far away). #ThailandTrip #ThaiTemple #BangkokTourism
