During my recent trip to Asia, I managed to extend my stay for a week to spend some time in Hong Kong and take a 48 hour blitz trip of Bangkok. On the last day, I took an amazing tour of the Khlongs or Canals of Bangkok, and saw a different side of the city. One of our stops was at the famous Wat Arun Temple, also known as the Temple of the Dawn Monastery. Named after Aruna, the Indian God of Dawn, this Buddhist temple is located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River.
