Wat Arun
The missile-shaped temple that rises from the banks of
Mae Nam Chao Phraya is known as Temple of Dawn, and
was named after the Indian god of dawn, Aruna. It was
here that King Taksin stumbled upon a shrine and inter-
preted the discovery as such an auspicious sign that this
should be the site of the new capital of Siam. Today, Wat
Arun is known for its emblematic spire, and is one of the
few Buddhist temples visitors can climb on.
