[Visit Wat Arun in Thailand]

On February 2, the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, I traveled from Chiang Mai to Bangkok. Due to time constraints, we only visited Wat Arun in Bangkok. Wat Arun is not very big, so I suggest planning your time wisely. The Grand Palace and the Mekong River are nearby, so you can visit them all in one day. We arrived at Wat Arun at 11:30 am, which was too hot. The light was also too strong at this time, so it was difficult to take good photos. If you are traveling independently, you can choose to stay in Bangkok for two to three days. This way, you can visit the temples in the morning and afternoon, and rest at the hotel or go shopping at noon. Wat Arun is not only an important landmark in Thai history, but also a symbol of Thai cultural confidence. The sacred objects in the temple, such as the hair and teeth of Sakyamuni Buddha when he became a monk, symbolize supreme blessings. These sacred objects are not only a tribute to King Taksin, but also a guardian of the story of the Thai national revival.
