The Temple of Dawn can be reached from Arun Amarin Road in Thonburi or by boat from the Tha Tien Pier near Wat Pho. The present temple was built during the 19th century on the site of the Royal Chapel of King Taksin, which dates from the 17th century. The temple's unique feature is its 79 metre pagoda or 'prang', built in the Khmer style, which can be ascended by a narrow winding staircase for fine views over the river. hello
