The King Taksin Monument is located next to the Thung Na Chey Public Park. We can walk there and cross the bridge to pay homage. This is the first time I have paid homage to this monument. Normally, I would pay homage at the King Taksin Shrine next to the City Pillar Shrine. However, I happened to come here for the annual festival at the end of the year, so I went to pay homage and ask for a blessing. #Paying homage to King Taksin the Great

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck Located on Tha Luang Road, in front of Taksin Camp, this nine-sided building with a roof in the shape of a garland or pointed hat is enshrined inside. Inside is a statue of King Taksin the Great. This nine-sided building with a roof in the shape of a garland or pointed hat has been a place of worship for the people of Chanthaburi for a long time. Originally, it was just a wooden shrine next to the City Pillar Shrine. Later, in 1920, during the reign of Mom Chao Srisadej Chayangkun, the Governor of Chanthaburi Province, a new shrine was built in front of the Marine Corps Battalion Camp. It is a rectangular concrete shrine with stairs in the front and three sides. The Fine Arts Department designed it. Inside is a statue of King Taksin's personal deity, but there is no statue of King Taksin as it is today. In 1991, government officials, merchants, and people of Chanthaburi donated money to build a new shrine for King Taksin next to the original shrine. It is a nine-sided building made of marble with a roof in the shape of a garland with a pointed hat. It is 16.9 meters high from the ground to the top and decorated with gold patterns. The top is a nine-tiered golden umbrella. Inside is a statue of King Taksin the Great, cast in blackened brass, sitting in the city seat. The interior walls are beautifully painted with Thai Phum Khao Bin patterns.

Very beautiful sight! The entrance fee is 100 baht per person, and a small bottle of water will be provided I recommend you come in the morning so there won't be a lot of people. But the sun is very strong and very hot, it is recommended to bring an umbrella to shade There are many Thai costumes available for rent near Wat Arun. #Zhengwang Temple (Wat Arun) #Thailand #Photography Holy Land

One of the highlights of my trip to Thailand in August is to take beautiful photos in Thai costumes at Wat Arun. Before leaving, I asked friends who had been there before and decided not to make an appointment in advance and just choose a clothing rental shop on the spot. We arrived at about 16:00 that afternoon. There were quite a few shops offering clothing rental services. We finally chose a shop that was 100 baht more expensive than the others, but at least it had air conditioning and we could choose and change clothes comfortably. It took about 30 minutes for the group of 8 people to choose and change clothes. Although it was close to 17:00, the sun was still very strong. I was sweating profusely after shooting for 30 minutes, but it was worth it. I took a lot of beautiful photos. If I had more time, I could have taken a boat to the Reclining Buddha Temple on the other side, but unfortunately I didn’t have time for it due to the itinerary that day. For travelers who are visiting Thailand for the first time, it is highly recommended to arrange a one-day tour. In addition to experiencing Thai clothes, you can also take a boat to the Reclining Buddha Temple and the Emerald Buddha Temple opposite to experience the tranquility and solemnity of Thai temples. #Thailand#Wat Arun#Thai clothing experience#Fake wedding dress

The history of Chanthaburi Province, that is the City Pillar Shrine and the Shrine of King Taksin the Great, the sacred objects of Chanthaburi Province. If you come to visit Chanthaburi Province, this place should be the first place to pay homage, pray for blessings, fortune, etc. King Taksin the Great built it when he came to Chanthaburi Province. The old shrine was made of laterite (or red bricks that we see today, which are easily broken) and was in a very dilapidated condition. In addition, there were Bodhi trees and Khoi trees covering it until there was almost no trace of the original shrine. Until in 1981, Chanthaburi Province built a shrine to install the City Pillar and cast a new statue of the Lord. Therefore, it is a place for descendants to pay homage to until today." #thailand

You can get there by boat. After buying the ticket, there is a shop where you can change into Thai clothes. The price is negotiable. Wat Arun is very beautiful and you can take photos for a long time, but be careful about sun protection~ There is no shade and the sun is very strong

Thailand's Wat Arun can be reached by boat! The building is very distinctive If you are traveling with a female companion, it is recommended that you bring an umbrella to provide support for yourself and your significant other. Otherwise, I would take too long to take photos...it would be very hot...
