The Temple of Dawn: Architecture and Cultural Significance
Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan, known as the Temple of Dawn, is one of Bangkok’s most impressive landmarks. This temple gets its name from the Hindu god Aruṇa.
The main tower reaches 82 meters high and is covered with millions of colorful Chinese porcelain pieces and seashells. When sunlight hits these decorations, the temple creates a dazzling display.
The architecture blends Khmer and Thai styles, representing Mount Meru – the center of the universe. Four smaller towers surround the main one.
This temple has rich history dating back to the Ayutthaya period. King Taksin housed the famous Emerald Buddha here before moving it to the Grand Palace.

Professional Photography at Wat Arun
Getting great photos at Wat Arun requires good timing and knowing the best locations.
During sunset, visit the eastern side of the Chao Phraya River for incredible views. The temple appears beautifully silhouetted against the vibrant sky.
For detailed shots, climb the central prang to capture the intricate porcelain mosaics and panoramic views of Bangkok skyline, Grand Palace, and Wat Pho.
We understand the temple’s lighting patterns and best vantage points. Our photographers work efficiently while respecting temple guidelines and other visitors.
We offer three packages based on locations, photo quantity, and time needed. Our team will help you choose the right option.
Getting to Wat Arun: Transportation and Access
Take the BTS Skytrain to Saphan Taksin Station, then board a boat.
From Saphan Taksin Station (Exit 2), walk to Sathorn Pier. Board an orange flag express boat for 15 baht. To get to Wat Arun, disembark at Tha Tien Pier (N8), then take the cross-river ferry for 3 baht.
The ferry operates from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM. This river crossing provides excellent temple views.
Taxis and tuk-tuks are alternatives. For visitors near Iconsiam or Siam Square, the boat route is most efficient.

Dress Code and Temple Etiquette
Wat Arun maintains specific guidelines as an active place of worship.
For photography sessions, avoid using flash inside prayer halls or near sacred artifacts. Always ask permission before photographing people. We ensure all shoots follow temple protocols while capturing excellent images.
Maintain quiet conversation and move respectfully. Don’t point feet toward Buddha images, avoid restricted areas, and don’t touch sacred objects.
