Wat Arun

从N13的码头到N8只需十分钟的时间。对泰国人来说，这条河就像公路一样，船呢，就像陆地上的公共巴士。。很多本地人都选择搭船。可能是便宜和不必担忧塞车的关系叭。。

船上有很多赶着上班的工厂工人，也有很多的大学生。。我怎么知道？？只要是穿白衬衫，黑裙/裤的就是当地的大学生。。很奇怪的大学校服规则,shopping center都有卖这类的“校服”，很多款式，而且还是紧身的呢！
到了目的地咯。。又花了个5baht搭令一艘船去对岸。。wat arun..我们到咯像网友所说的，外面真得摆了很多吸引人的摆设，让你不禁想把头摆在上面拍照留念。。千万要看清楚。。在娃娃的下端写着40baht。。拍了照，就有人向你收钱了。。真好赚！害我的相机都不敢向着他们，搞不好之后也跟我收费。。

Wat Arun is one of the few Bangkok temples predating the Chakri dynasty, the current rulers of Thailand. When general Phya Taksin crowned himself king in 1769, he moved the capital across the Chao Phraya river to Thonburi. Wat Makok temple fell within the area intended for the king's new palace along the riverbank. The young king designated it the royal temple and changed its name to Wat Jaeng—the Temple of Dawn, a name thought to commemorate the founding of the new dynasty. King Taksin treated the monks badly, expelling them so that he could worship privately in the temple. Monks were allowed to return during the rule of Rama I, the first King of the Chakri dynasty, who disestablished Wat Jaeng as the royal temple when he moved the capital across the river to what it today downtown Bangkok. His successor, Rama II, renamed it Wat Arun Rajtharam and renovated the temple. He planned to raise the central spire (called a prang) beyond its original 16 meters, but he died before the project was realized. His successor, Rama III, completed the project in the years 1842-1847. The prang was raised to an astonishing 67 meters, making it the highest one in Thailand even today. The central spire has a height of approximately 70 feet, built of brick and covered with pieces of Chinese porcelain and glazed ceramic. These products were available because Chinese ships carrying Thai products to China used needed ballast material while travelling without cargo to Bangkok. When loaded with cargo, the porcelain and ceramics were discarded and appropriated by the builders of the wat. Figures of demons and half - humans support the different layers. Construction was completed in the early 18th Century during the reign of Rama III
