	Thai Architecture: Wat Arun Temple, Bangkok
		Wat Arun is one of the few Bangkok temples predating the Chakri dynasty, the current rulers of Thailand.
		Wat Makok temple fell within the area intended for the king's new palace along the riverbank.
		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.

	Wat Arun in Bangkok
		The Wat became the Royal palace and temple of King Taksin and was thus the only place sacred enough to enshrine the Emerald Buddha and Phra Bang, a Buddha image of equal importance, when they were brought from Vientiane during the late 17th century.
		Having enshrined the Emerald Buddha, spending pansaa at Wat Arun is a prestigious achievement and the kratin ceremony is presided over by none less than the King of Thailand himself.
		Wat Arun is open daily from 8:30am to 5:30pm and admission for visitors is only 20 baht.

	Wat Arun Travel Guide
		Almost directly across the river from Wat Po, in the Thonburi district, rises the enormous five-pranged Wat Arun (daily 7am-5pm; B10), the Temple of Dawn, probably Bangkok's most memorable landmark.
		The temple has been reconstructed numerous times, but the Wat Arun that you see today is a classic prang (tower) structure of Ayutthayan style, built as a representation of Mount Meru, the home of the gods in Khmer mythology.
		One of the most popular ways of seeing Wat Arun and the other Thonburi sights is to embark on a canal tour by chartering a longtail boat (B250 per person) from Tha Chang, in front of the Grand Palace.

	Travels - Thailand - Day 2 - Wat Arun
		The style of Arun was distinctly different, but contained many of the constant elements that I was beginning to recognize.
		Temples are supported by alternating giants and monkeys, distinguishable because the monkeys usually have their mouths open and the giants usually have upward-thrusting tusks.
		The spires, or chedi, of Wat Arun show a Cambodian influence; their shape is reminiscent of the famous ones at Angkor Wat, the Cambodian temple that Thais consider part of the Thai Buddhist tradition.
