EDITORS COMMENTS
Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, is a breathtaking Buddhist temple located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand. This iconic landmark is a must-visit destination for travelers exploring the vibrant city and the rich cultural heritage of South East Asia. The image captures the majestic beauty of Wat Arun at sunset, with the golden spire of the central prang (stupa) reflecting on the calm and serene waters of the Chao Phraya River. The temple complex, adorned with intricate carvings and colorful ceramic tiles, stands proudly against the backdrop of the bustling cityscape. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of traditional Thai boats, known as "longtail boats," which are a common mode of transportation along the river. People can be seen enjoying the sunset, taking in the stunning views, and capturing memories through their cameras. Wat Arun is not only a religious site but also a significant historical and architectural landmark. It is believed that the temple was built in the late 18th century, during the reign of King Rama II, and is named after the Hindu god Aruna, the god of dawn. The temple's unique architectural style, which combines Thai, Khmer, and Chinese influences, is a testament to the rich cultural exchange that has shaped the region. The image by JA from Discover Images by AWL beautifully encapsulates the essence of Wat Arun and the spiritual and cultural significance it holds for the people of Thailand and the millions of visitors it attracts each year.
