Wat Arun: The Temple of Dawn at Blue Hour, Bangkok

A striking perspective of Wat Arun Ratchawararam, famously known as the 'Temple of Dawn,' standing majestically on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok.

This image captures the intricate detail of the temple's 82-meter high central prang (spire), which is uniquely encrusted with millions of pieces of colorful Chinese porcelain and seashells. Originally a village shrine, the temple was reimagined by King Taksin in 1768 to represent Mount Meru—the center of the universe in Buddhist cosmology.

Whether viewed in the soft light of dawn or as a glowing silhouette against the evening skyline, this landmark remains a profound symbol of Thai spiritual endurance and architectural artistry
