Built in the 18th century, the temple is dedicated to Aurna the Indian God of Dawn, and is built on the site of the palace King Taksin.

The King's barge is over 160 feet long and requires a crew of 50 oarsmen. Then visit the Grand Palace. Since 1872, the Palace has been the focal point for the people of Thailand.
