Wat Arun • Bangkok [ 4K ] The Temple of Dawn • Thailand Walking Tour

Situated on the western Thonburi banks of the Chao Phraya River, Wat Arun
(locally known as Wat Chaeng) is an impressive and majestic Buddhist temple that stands at 82 metres tall.
The Temple of Dawn is one of the biggest temples in Bangkok. The construction of the main tower commenced in the early part of the 19th century. The tower was restored over a four year period leading up to its reopening in 2017.
I was unable to access all of the temple's buildings on this visit due to a naval event taking place on the temple's grounds.

Legend states that when King Taksin, at the time Ayutthaya mandarin, led some troops to break the Burmese siege of Ayutthaya and arrived at this old temple at dawn, so the temple was then named Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun). After Ayutthaya fell after one-year siege, he led troops from Chanthaburi province to expel the occupied Burmese troops in Ayutthaya. Then he proclaimed himself King and moved the capital from Ayutthaya to Thonburi and built a royal palace adjacent to Wat Arun and this temple then became the Royal Temple within the Palace domain in line with Ayutthaya tradition. The same could be said about King Rama I when he moved the capital from Thonburi across the Chao Phraya River and built Emerald Buddha Temple within the Grand Palace. When Thonburi was still a distinct province before it was dissolved to form Bangkok metropolis about 50 years ago, Thonburi's symbol was Phra Prang (Stupa) of this temple.
