Visiting the Wat Arun and Wat Traimit in Bangkok

Detail of Wat Arun in Bangkok, Thailand

I was in Bangkok for a few days and I made a little tour. And although I have been at these temples at least 20 times they are still fascinating. Photo above is a detail of the world famous Wat Arun (Temple of dawn) along the Chao Phraya River. The photo under is a part of the Wat Traimit in China Town that houses the famous Golden Buddha. It is said to be 3 meters high and have a weight of 5.5 solid gold.
