Wat Arun: Most Famous Temple in Bangkok

There are 400 temples in Bangkok, Thailand. Among the hundreds of temples, Wat Arun, or the Temple of Dawn is considered the most famous. The temple is in Thonburi, on the west bank of Phraya River. It is a Buddhist temple which existed since the 1600s and is one of the most significant landmarks of Thailand. Arguably, the most impressive part of the temple is the central prang which is nearly 90 meters tall. Moreover, the prang is covered with colorful tiles and statues representing various figures from Hindu and Buddhist mythology and stories. The prang represents Mount Meru which is the equivalent of Mount Olympus in Greek mythology.
