We were following the map/guide that was issued to us after buying the River Ferry Day Pass. It was a little past 12 and we were starting to get hungry, but we were already near Wat Arun so we proceeded anyway.
After buying tickets we bought ourselves a can of Coke each, for the much-needed sugar boost!
We were going to do some climbing again!!
Wat Arun is called the "Temple of Dawn" because it of its beauty when the sun's rays hit its walls during sunrise. There were also chimes hanging on the prangs (towers) which give off relaxing sounds when the wind blows.
Wat Arun is home to rich details of Chinese soldiers and animals...
The steep climb reminded us of our Cambodian experience. Climbing was also a bit scary due to the narrower steps, and vertiginous feeling was heightened by the view of the city.
Ceramic mosaics adorn Wat Arun. The detail on this temple was really beautiful. It seems much attention to detail was really exercised in building and designing it.
We took our time enjoying the great panoramic view from the top of the wat...
Then it was time to go down. I hanged on tight to the railings as the steps down were equally steep as the climb up!!!
Time to find some lunch :)
