Welcome back again , Today I have a question to ask you . At the back of 10 Baht Coin you will see a nice picture on this coin . This is a famous landmark at Bangkok . And I think you may be remember or forgot this Temple in Bangkok .
“3-2-1 Yes :-O , this is the one of 9 sacred place in Bangkok that locate on the west bank of Chaophraya river ,Temple of dawn or Wat Arun, most of foreign tour usually take traveler to visit there .Bacause Wat arun is a nice place with beautiful with the sunset and long history in Thailand . ”
The outstanding feature of Wat Arun is its central prang (Khmer-style tower). Steep steps lead to the two terraces. The height is reported by different sources as between 66,80 m and 86 m. The corners are surrounded by 4 smaller satellite prangs. The prangs are decorated by seashells and bits of porcelain which had previously been used as ballast by boats coming to Bangkok from China. Around the base of the prangs are various figures of ancient Chinese soldiers and animals. Over the second terrace are four statues of the Hindu god Indra riding on Erawan. 
Prang of Wat Arun at the riverside are 6 pavilions (sala) in Chinese style. The pavilions are made of green granite and contain landing bridges.
Next to the prangs is the Ordination Hall with the Niramitr Buddha image supposedly designed by King Rama II. The front entrance of the Ordination Hall has a roof with a central spire, decorated in coloured ceramic and stuccowork sheated in coloured china. There are 2 demons, or temple guardian figures in front.
Sometimes when we turn back the coin and see somethings on that face , Could you remember where is it ?
