Before You Visit Wat Arun: Every Cost, and What's Worth It

Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, with its porcelain-covered central prang on the Chao Phraya River, is cheap to visit and a short ferry ride from Wat Pho. There's the entrance fee, the ferry, Thai costume hire for photos, and river tours that include it. Most of them sound worth paying for. You don't need the most expensive one to have a great visit. In this guide we walk through what each option costs, what you really get, and how to choose the right time, whether that's a quiet 8 am or a busy afternoon.
