Wat Arun Buddhist Temple in Bangkok

Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan or Wat Arun is a Buddhist temple in the Bangkok Yai district of Bangkok, Thailand. It is situated on Thonburi on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. The temple derives its name from the Hindu god Aruṇa, often personified as the radiations of the rising sun. Wat Arun is one of Bangkok's most important Buddhist temples. It's named after Aruna, the Hindu god of dawn, and its distinctive spires, or "prang" make it one of Thailand's most identifiable landmarks. At around 82 m (270 feet) in height, the central prang of the Wat Arun Temple is the highest in Bangkok.
