Woman walking through the grounds of Wat Arun, a Buddhist temple (wat)
Wat Arun is a Buddhist temple (wat) in the Yai district of Bangkok, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. Wat Arun is among the best known of Thailand's landmarks. The temple is so named because the first light of the morning reflects off the surface of the temple with pearly iridescence. Although the temple had existed since at least the seventeenth century, its distinctive prang (spires) were built in the early nineteenth century during the reign of King Rama II.
