About this Wat Arun guide

WatArunVisit.com is an independent guide to visiting Wat Arun Ratchawararam, the Temple of Dawn, in Bangkok: tickets and opening hours, what to wear, how far you can climb, the best time to come, how to cross the river, and the other temples nearby, along with the tours sold on GetYourGuide. We are not the temple, a government office, a tour operator or GetYourGuide. We compare what is on offer so you can decide whether you want a guide at all, and if so, which one.

Facts on this site are checked against official and reliable sources (the Thai government's visitor pages, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the Grand Palace's official site, the Chao Phraya Express Boat company and Bangkok's metro operators, and national newspapers for anything recent) and against the live GetYourGuide listings, including recent guest reviews. Opening hours and boat timetables change; when an official source and this site disagree, trust the official source.

We write about a working temple, and we try to do it with care. If something here reads wrong to you, please tell us: contact us.
