"Temple of Dawn Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok 's Yai district. It is situated on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. The temple is one of the best known Thai landmarks. The mosaics which cover the temple create a pearly sheen during sunrise and sunset. Ferries can be caught at the Tha Tien Pier across the river from Wat Arun every couple of minutes. Tha Tien Pier is located near the Grand Palace and Wat Po."
"Supanniga Eating Room's riverfront restaurant is located opposite of the Temple of Dawn and serves authentic Thai flavors." - Krittiya Wongtavavimarn
"Catch the ferry to Bangkok’s dazzling, Cambodian-style Buddhist pagoda, or tack it on to your Wang Lang run (it’s about five minutes from there via tuk-tuk)."
"I took the short boat ride to Wat Arun from Banglamphu area and found it an accessible and photogenic temple to add to a sightseeing itinerary." - Matthew Kepnes
"Perched on the Chao Phraya River opposite the Grand Palace, Wat Arun is my favorite temple in Bangkok: its single main spire (with four smaller ones) is so iconic it appears on Thai money, and from the top of the main spire you get sweeping views of the city." - Matthew Kepnes
