Wat Arun Sunrise Wine Toast

Temple of Dawn

Wake before dawn to watch the Temple of Dawn live up to its name. As the first light hits the porcelain-encrusted spires, toast with sparkling wine from the riverside terrace of Sala Rattanakosin.

Insider tips

  • Book a room at Sala Rattanakosin or just grab their rooftop for wine and views

  • Temple opens at 08:00 but the magic is watching sunrise from across the river

  • Bring wine from 7-Eleven (yes, they sell it) if doing BYOB at the riverside
