What is one of that most splendid sights in Bangkok?

One of the most splendid sight in Bangkok is Wat Arun; also known as Temple of Dawn. This breathtaking Wat (temple) sits on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River and serves as one of the city's iconic landmarks. Its towering prang (central spire) is covered in colorful porcelain and shines magnificently in the sunrise, giving you the sense of witnessing an architectural marvel illuminated by the golden hues of early morning light.
