They have a wide selection of Thai traditional outfits, and tutulungan ka nila from fitting to styling.
As a Filipino traveler, medyo nakakahiya at first mag-picture mag-isa in full costume, pero once you step out, ang daming nagco-compliment and it becomes part of the experience. Super Instagram-worthy, especially around temples and old streets.
Staff were friendly and accommodating, kahit language barrier minsan, they make an effort to guide you. When they found out, I brought some extra stuff with me, may pinadala pa silang ibang accesories and props to complete my other look 🥺🫶🏼
Tip: Go early para less crowd, and bring extra extra confidence 😄

We took the Bangkok Wat Pho and Wat Arunhalf day walking tour with Mr. Tee today and it was the absolute highlight of our trip! we love him. Mr. Tee was incredibly knowledgeable about temples and monks and made the history come alive with great storytelling. We especially loved how he brought us to hidden corners of the locations. He went above and beyond by helping us taking great photos and recommending restaurants and mode of transport. he is also very Jolly person and hard not to love him. Highly recommended!"

I arrived on time for appointment time. Staff were ready. Spoke a little bit of English. I headed upstairs to change and the ladies were very quick. I just couldn't go into the Grand Palace, had no long sleeves. So just a tip for the Grand Palace

We toured with the amazing Ying today, she took care of everyone and gave us options along the way. We were well informed about what we were seeing and Ying showed genuine interest in the group. Ying readily offeeed to take photos of us as we went along in key areas and she knew the right angles. We also had time to take our own as well as time to immerse into the atmosphere

My photographer was Benjamin, and he was incredibly kind. I was very impressed with his posing direction and choice of locations. He made sure I felt relaxed and kept the atmosphere fun throughout the entire shoot. I was also very happy with the hairstyling provided by the studio, and I really appreciated the color recommendations he gave for my outfit.

What to know about Wat Arun
Known for its striking riverside beauty, Wat Arun—also called the Temple of Dawn Bangkok—is one of the city’s most iconic and photogenic temples. With its towering central prang (spire) covered in delicate porcelain pieces, the temple shines in the sunlight and glows beautifully at sunset. Many travelers say it looks like it was made for Instagram, and it’s easy to see why.
But Wat Arun isn’t just about looks. It holds deep historical meaning too. King Taksin arrived here at dawn after the fall of Ayutthaya, giving the temple its poetic nickname. Whether you're exploring its quiet courtyards, admiring traditional Chinese statues, or arriving by boat along the Chao Phraya River, visiting this temple is a must when you're in Bangkok.

Things to Do at Wat Arun
Climb the Iconic Prang
The towering central structure is the highlight of Wat Arun. It's covered in colorful porcelain and offers fantastic photo ops.
Explore the Full Temple Grounds
Don't just stop at the main spire, there's a lot more to see across the peaceful temple grounds.
Snap Instagram-Worthy Photos
The intricate porcelain mosaics and unique design make this one of Bangkok's most photogenic temples.
Dress Up Thai-Style
Rent traditional Thai clothing for a fun and immersive photo experience, it adds a unique touch to your visit.
Spot the Chinese Stone Statues
These historic figures are scattered around the temple and have a fascinating trade-related origin story.
Arrive by Boat for the Full Experience
Seeing Wat Arun from the river gives you a special perspective, and a relaxing way to get there.
Tips Before Visiting Wat Arun
Follow the Dress Code
Shoulders covered, no shorts, especially important for women. Bring a scarf or light jacket just in case.
Negotiate Your Ride Fare
Don't accept the first price from Tuk Tuk drivers. Try to share with others or use a motorbike taxi for a better deal.
Use Public Transit
The MRT and riverboats make it super easy to reach Wat Arun without dealing with traffic.
Make Time to Explore
We recommend checking out the full temple complex, not just the central spire, since there are many beautiful corners to discover.
Popular Attractions Near Wat Arun
The Grand Palace (10 minutes by boat)
The Temple of the Emerald Buddha, now at the Grand Palace, was once located at Wat Arun. You'll also see similar Chinese statues at both sites.
Other Riverside Stops (5-15 minutes)
Since Wat Arun is on the Hop On Hop Off riverboat route, you can easily combine it with places like Wat Pho, Tha Maharaj Pier, or ICONSIAM.
Ayutthaya (2 hours away by train or car)
Though farther out, Ayutthaya's fall is part of Wat Arun's origin story. King Taksin arrived here at dawn after Ayutthaya's collapse, giving rise to the name Temple of Dawn.
