Royal Palace Temple, Thonburi

#VisitBangkok 🙏Wat Arun Ratchawararam was originally named Wat Makok Nok. King Taksin the Great changed it to Wat Chaeng to commemorate his arrival at dawn. During the Thonburi period, it was considered the temple of the palace because it was in the area of ​​the old palace, so there were no monks residing there. Important and interesting things in the temple include: 🛕The original prang was built during the Ayutthaya period and is 8 wa high. However, the one we see today was extended during the reign of King Rama III. It is 81.85 meters high from the base to the top. 🏕The small chapel is the old chapel of the temple.
