I thoroughly enjoyed this temple. The statue and guards at the entrance are in fantastic condition. The views from the top are not to be missed if you don't mind the very steep climb. More

Although the stairs are steep, I loved walking up and down the various levels of this temple, looking at all of the details and views. It is definitely worth the trip. More

We visited Wat Arun as a part of a cruise in the Chao praya river. It is a beautiful impressive temple, a bit difficult to climb all the way up and down with steep steps, but the view is really great.

The temple is guarded by both demigods and demons (statues). Because it is a temple, we had to be in proper clothing. No shorts or uncovered shoulders are allowed.... More

Very cheap to visit. However, if you suffer from vertigo, do not go up the steps to the top level of the monument! Fine going up but very scarey looking down the steep steps when its time to go down. Several visitors were nearly in tears with fear. More
