Wat Arun (temple of dawn)
The temple was built in Thailand's ancient Ayutthaya period and first known as Wat Makok (The Olive Temple). Thonburi was then the capital and King Taksin changed the name to Wat Chaeng. The Wat used to keep the Emerald Buddha, which was moved to Wat Phra Kaew in 1784.
Later King Rama II changed the name to Wat Arunratchatharam. He restored the temple and enlarged the central prang. The work was finished by King Rama III. King Rama IV gave the temple the present name Wat Arunratchawararam.
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 Chinaame Wat Arunratchawararam.
