About Wat Arun in Bangkok

Wat Arun, a beautiful and popular tourist hot spot of Bangkok, is much famed for its religious significance. It is located alongside the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. Wat Arun Bangkok is also known as Wat Chaeng by the locals and is set against one of the most scenic views on the Thonburi bank of the Chao Phraya River. Being such a huge tourist hotspot, Wat Arun is also quite accessible by rivers and roads alike. The temple is lit by traditional lanterns every night, which makes for a uniquely soulful experience.

The Wat Arun temple has been a fascinating tourist spot for many generations. The temple’s spire is over seventy meters high and the superb craftsmanship of the temple itself is one to behold. The spire itself is decorated with shards of colored glass and Chinese porcelain to form delicate, surreal patterns. The shuttle boat ride across the Chao Phraya River is one of the most epic things to do here and it is located opposite to Wat Pho, which is another remarkable Buddhist temple.

Wat Arun temple Bangkok is most famously known for its golden Buddha image and the countless murals along its wall. It once housed the Emerald Buddha, which was later relocated to the Grand Palace. Despite being a tourist hotspot, it is important to remember that Wat Arun is also a religious site that holds deep significance to Thai Buddhists, and hence one should dress accordingly.

Suma's 5 days trip to Bangkok

We had a great time with family during the trip to Thailand. Hotel rooms and were clean and beautiful, the breakfast at the hotels was also delicious with a mix of continental, Indian, and local cuisine. The trip drivers were also on time and humble. The entire trip went through very smooth as per the itinerary. My personal thanks to Yugal from Trip Trial who assisted from the beginning of the trip. Throughout the trip he was in touch with us and ensured everything was well. There was no chance to complain at all.... in-fact this is my second trip through Travel Triangle and I would LOVE to use it in the future. Thank you so much team.

Anushree's 5 days trip to Bangkok

Perfect Holiday Planners was my travel agent. I booked 3 days Krabi package through them, which included Phi Phi Islands tour by speedboat, 4 Islands tour by speedboat and private airport transfers between Krabi airport to my hotel in Ao Nang area. Their representative, Ms. Khyati was very responsive and cooperative throughout the process & provided timely response to all my queries. She even guided me considering I was traveling with my 1 year old son on this trip keeping in mind his safety & comfort. The trip was carried out smoothly and was well coordinated. Overall I would highly recommend their services and booking a trip through them.

Rrsalian's 6 days trip to Bangkok

It was a truly fantastic experience. I want to express my gratitude to Kunal and Gaurav for their exceptional support throughout the journey. The hotel in Pattaya was wonderful, providing a comfortable and enjoyable stay. However, I must admit that the hotel in Bangkok did not meet our expectations. Thankfully, Kunal and Gaurav swiftly arranged for us to be relocated to a nicer accommodation, ensuring that our overall experience remained positive. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the trip. Thailand offered breath-taking sights and memorable experiences. The assistance provided by Kunal and Gaurav played a significant role in making this trip a success. I would highly recommend their services to anyone planning a visit to Thailand. Thank you once again for organizing such a wonderful trip.

Vijay's 6 days trip to Bangkok

Out trip overall was great...we had enough fun despite the scorching heat!. I booked flight and hotel on my own and took others from BB for 7 days. Organizers were good but needs improvements...read on i will list all and anyone reading will have a good view because we also saw reviews first good things: 1. Cabs were all good and were on time...everything was on time..be prepared to be ready on time and indian style doesnt work! which is good i say..we boarded late everywhere, something to learn to manage time better on a personal note 2. once the on field team gave the plans a day before, everything was executed as per plan and time...good job 3. I lost the phone day4, support provided post that was good...Krabi cab driver lady helped as well to connect to sales...thanks to her 4. Phi phi tour speed boat and the instructor was nice. We had other people from same state of India so we became friends and really had fun. Snorkelling given in monkey island was too good and wow! it was awesome! Thanks. Maya bay was damn crowded and didnt enjoy but for a couple of pics to feel good...swimming in phi phi ley was ok ok with water not so clear...nice day spent 5. Please do jetski in koh kai (last stop) island...we had the best fun...and it was too good than India...thanks to the operator...I think the tour should make a tie up and provide in good price to all...it was damn fun 1000 for 2 ppl for 20 mins...they take you very far and you can ride it 6.Overall good but can be awesome as per below suggestions now the bad: 1. Indrani worked so hard to get this done till late night 2am on 2 days...nice of her and must appreciate...sole reason for booking from TT was to have hassle free tour plus given the fact that i had made them work ....in reality I would have managed all myself in fact at better rates...but at the same time she became the problem also unfortunately...on field team gave a different itinerary to her basis practicality...it was a lack of common sense from Indrani. She had my full plan given to her with flight time and everything and after confirming the plan she sent a completely different itinerary just a few hours before flight as on field team could not accommodate our day1 plan due to flight timings...but this was known to Indrani and everything was agreed as per my plan...they backtracked and i had a bad 2 hours and really got disappointed as I would lose day3 second half. I had to accept what they gave...they started asking questions as if i am on a criminal investigation...please ensure to have proofs of documents given to them via watsapp...they swapped day1 with day3 itinerary without any communication...I didnt like it...should not have accepted the booking if they couldnt deliver it that way...i would have booked on my own anyway...but once accepted their changed plans, it was all good and well executed...bad part was neither Arinjay nor Indrani were available post that to talk and they just disappeared...it wasnt great. But once i accepted on field team plans all went well. but it was not what i wanted. but end of the day it was good anyways. 2.India team were not able to tell upfront that there would be how many snorkels and where...phi phi island they gave 1 snorkel at monkey beach and it was really good and was wow! but i was looking for a more refined premium 3-4 snorkels...i think these guys dont have it...if you want so, book directly there or viator...I would have liked to pay more and get more 3. 7 island tour was ok ok mainly due to jelly fish...Krabi everywhere jelly fish issue was there...spoilt everything actually...yet snorkel at poda island was good but still jelly fish troubled although not venomous ones were in poda island ...i think they picked up slightly late so, they hurried up everywhere... 4. food for vegetarians was not great anywhere...7 island was not great...phi phi was just ok...but good thing we didnt have any stomach problems 5. you give us 3 vendor options...it is difficult to have that guilt of not giving to 2 and going with 1 tips to TT: 1. please provide more premium options like just a snorkel trip for those who want...or give 2 or more snorkel for phi phi...i would pay more and get more...upon checking in krabi there were several such options availabel for a lot less price likje 1200 thb per head 2. veg food can be improved 3. Please raise intinerary before booking...backtracking later wont be great 4. although cabs were grt and on time...would be great if can give 2 notifications, one 3-4 hours before and another 1 hour before...else it becomes stressful for slightly lazy people...like can give notification at night for next day...we had to jump and pack to meet timelines...but the blame is not really on you but on us lazy types...so, to avoid stress u can give 2 notifications 5. i recomment speed boat for 7 islands. food can be better here.. id id not like giving snorkel equipment responsibility on us...boat should store them 6. phi phi pls provide 2 or more snorkel you ccan cut swimming and give snorkel 7. pls let people know about jelly fish tips to travellers: 1. go for premium snorkel options by keeping one day extra. These organizers do not have such plans...you take normal 1 day from them and premium from other sources...can book directly in krabi/phuket or viator.. 2. Their timelines are v strict pls be prepared on time...its good thing 3. 7 islands was all about jelly f ish...everyone got bit...beware 4. spend more time snorkelling..take your own gear or at least the mouth piece 5. go on a similan island or othe rsmall island day tour... 6. we selected journey hub in patong (very good rooms and pool) really worth the price but breakfast for veg wasnt really great although they claim indian food but you have salads to compensate...Krabi resort in krabi ( v nice room and place) good breakfast ...both were hygenic and good...citrus 11 in bkk was too good a hotel dont miss breakfast here was the best and good clean rooms but no pool (we didnt want it anyways) 7. try seafood restaurant in patong opposite journeyhub...v nice thai food 8. be careful about boat edges and ladder ..can cut 9. must buy water pouch for phone...i lost my phone in poda island and it really troubled our next 2 days 11. dont miss icon siam mall at 6...good electronics available in center world just buy there and dont wait for MBK..mbk duplicate products can be there. 12. must try finger chips in icon siam 13. platinum mall products are hyped according to me...be ready with a lot of time we covered only 4 floors of 18 floors 14. no driver understands english have the translator installed 15. buy a sim right after landing...300 thb for 8 days worked well for me 16. people seem good from outside...but they are not as great...but no trouble faced...are same everywhere...if you pay well u r treated well else ignored
