Description
Start by downloading the Action Tour Guide app, which will function as your personal tour guide, audio tour, and map. Note: This 0.2+ mile-long tour covers the essentials of Bangkok's Wat Arun in 1 hour. Once downloaded, your tour of Wat Arun begins at the temple’s ticket gate. From there, you’ll enter the grounds and take in your first good view of the awe-inspiring complex. The Grand Pagoda will be your first stop, towering overhead at 270 feet and bedecked in intricate carvings. Your audio guide will help you decipher this beautiful artwork as you admire the pagoda. When you head toward the Upper Terraces, up next, you’ll dig into the history of Buddhism in Thailand, and how Wat Arun was designed to specifically honor and reference scenes from the Buddha’s life. At the top of those terraces, breathtaking views of the Chao Phraya River await you. From there, you’ll continue on to a replica of the actual Buddha’s footprint, forever preserved in stone. Then you’ll head to the main attraction: the Ordination Hall. At the entrance gate, you’ll encounter two enormous statues of demons and hear their story. In the Ordination Hall itself, you’ll find a huge number of statues and murals honoring the life of the Buddha. As you take your time exploring this deeply sacred place, you’ll learn how to identify some of the key elements of the hall. Your tour concludes here, but you’re free to stick around as long as you’d like!Includes
