Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan is a stunning temple complex located along the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand. With its striking spire of porcelain-encrusted stucco and featuring a giant trident of Shiva at its summit, Wat Arun is one of the city's most majestic tourist attractions. Visitors can marvel at the intricate interior murals while exploring the grounds, which are adorned with statues of two demons that guard the main chapel. The temple also offers a unique riverfront view of the Bangkok skyline and a glimpse into Thai Buddhism and its ancient symbols.
