The Temple of Dawn

This is the Temple of Dawn. We took a ferry across the river and saw the Temple of Dawn. This is similar to Ankor Wat in Cambodia, but smaller. Here is some information from Wikipedia: The outstanding feature of Wat Arun is its central tower. It may be named "Temple of the Dawn" because the first light of morning reflects off the surface of the temple with a pearly iridescence. Steep steps lead to the two terraces. The height is reported by different sources as between 66,80 m and 86 m. The corners are surrounded by 4 smaller satellite prangs. The prangs are decorated by seashells and bits of porcelain which had previously been used as ballast by boats coming to Bangkok from China.

The picture above shows the number of boats in the river. It was amazing that these boats didn't run into each other.
