Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan, usually simply referred to as Wat Arun, is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok and one of the city's most recognisable landmarks. Although the temple has existed since the 17th century, the prang (spires) were built in the early 19th century during the reign of King Rama II and are decorated with seashells, as well as pieces of Chinese porcelain used as ballast by trading vessels. The central prang rises to a height of 76m.
