Bangkok, dress up and check in at Wat Arun.

🛕Bangkok, my nth visit to Wat Arun I decided to dress up and "immerse" myself. Wat Arun is known as the "Eiffel Tower of Thailand", and is one of the most stunning landmarks on the Chao Phraya River. It was built during the Ayutthaya Kingdom of Thailand, and is the greatest and most brilliant cultural heritage left from the era of King Mongkut of Ayutthaya. The main pagoda of Wat Arun is 82 meters high, symbolizing the sacred mountain in the Buddhist kingdom. There is a pagoda on each side, each with a different color, grand and solemn, well-arranged, and the pagoda is covered with many colorful broken ceramics, the visual effect is gorgeous and spectacular. In the streets and alleys near Wat Arun, there are many stores that rent traditional Thai clothes, and all kinds of accessories are available. ⛩There is another beautiful landmark in Bangkok, which is the Giant Swing next to Wat Suthat. The Giant Swing was built during the reign of Rama I in 1784, and was rebuilt in 2005. It is made of 6 teak trunks and is over 30 meters high. The old Giant Swing was dismantled, and is now preserved in the Bangkok National Museum. Wat Arun
