See the massive 46-meter-long and 15-meter-high statue of the Reclining Buddha, covered in gold leaf, with feet inlaid with mother-of-pearl, featuring auspicious symbols.
Finally, visit Wat Arun, one of Bangkok’s most iconic temples, famous for its stunning riverside location and ornate design, especially at sunset when the temple is illuminated.
Climb the steep steps of the temple’s central tower for breathtaking views of the river and the city. Explore the smaller prangs and beautifully decorated gardens that provide a serene atmosphere. Enjoy the picturesque views of the Chao Phraya River and the skyline of Bangkok.
