Places in Thailand
In association with:
Wat Arun is a striking temple, named after the Indian god of dawn, Aruna. Looming large, it looks as if it were carved from granite; a closer inspection reveals a mosaic of porcelain tiles covering the imposing 82m (270ft) Khmer-style praang (spire). The tiles were left behind by Chinese merchant ships no longer needing them as ballast.
