Thailand

Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, was probably called so because it’s the only place in Bangkok that has, at ground level, a good view of the sunrise. Located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya river, the main water transport route in Thailand. Nothing obstructs its eastward view but the boats passing on the river, transporting people through the city and freight further upcountry.
