Wat Arun, Bangkok

The "Temple of Dawn", also known as Wat Arun, is located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. Wat Arun, which is dedicated to the Hindu god Aruna, is most beautiful in the morning when the sun shines through the Chinese porcelain blossoms and mosaics made of silver and reddish glass that decorate the walls of the temple.

It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful temples in Bangkok, not just because it is situated by the river but also because its design is so unique from the other temples in the Thai city. The option of climbing the vertical staircase built on the outdoor wall is one of the attractions of this temple. You'll be rewarded with stunning views of the Chao Phraya River and the gabled roofs of other temples and structures across the water provided you're not frightened of heights and can manage the narrow steps.
