The stupas of Wat Arun
Author 'Hiedra98' (Id 190421
) : This temple, whose real name is Arunratchawararam Ratchaworamahavihara, is dedicated to the indian god Aruna, god of dawn, as it is located facing the rising sun on the right bank of the Chao Praya, the river that runs through Bangkok. Its construction began at the end of the 18th century under the reign of Rama II, and was completed by his successor Rama III. The decoration of the multiple stupas is beautiful and I will show you a detail if you are interested.
