Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)
I cross the river specifically for this. The ferry from Tha Tien takes 3 minutes and costs almost nothing. The climb is steep — kids love it, anxious adults don't.
One of Bangkok's most beautiful temples, best seen from the water or climbed for the river views. The ceramic-encrusted prang is extraordinary up close.
