This is a large-scale ancient building complex (28 in total), and it is the most perfectly preserved, largest, and most ethnic palace in all dynasties. Board a long-tail boat at the Chao Phraya River pier to Wat Arun. You can photograph the iconic Mahayana stupa, known as the “Eiffel Tower of Thailand”.
