Wat Arun in Bangkok(郑王庙)

Wat Arun, locally known as Wat Chaeng, is situated on the west (Thonburi) bank of the Chao Phraya River. It is believed that after fighting his way out of Ayutthaya, which was besieged by a Burmese army at the time, King Taksin arrived at this temple just as dawn was breaking.  He later had the temple renovated and renamed it Wat Chaeng, the Temple of the Dawn. During his reign (Thonburi Period), Wat Chaeng was the chief temple, and it once enshrined the Emerald Buddha and another important Buddha image, the Phra Bang, both of which had been removed from Vientiane.

泰国的埃菲尔铁塔：寺院人口处有巨型守护神石像，寺内有五座一模一样的佛塔，一大四小。大塔为79米高的婆罗门式尖塔——巴壤塔，建于1809年，有“泰国 的埃菲尔铁塔”之美称。 巴壤塔及其周围四座与之呼应的陪塔，形成一组庞大而美丽的塔群。大塔内有阶梯供游客攀爬，在塔上可以极目眺望湄南河对岸的曼谷市景。郑王庙是泰国皇家寺庙之一，通称郑王寺。始建于大城王朝，当时名皇冠寺，后改称昌寺。郑王庙是纪念泰国第41代君王、民族英雄郑昭的寺庙。郑昭是华裔，于1768年，曾领导泰国各族人民奋驱外敌，重整江山，建立了吞武里王国。郑王庙又名黎明寺，据说郑王驱逐缅甸军队后，顺湄南河经过此寺时正好是黎明时刻，便下令上岸到寺里参拜，后来登上王位后便称此寺为黎明寺。另一个说法是高79米的高塔每天最先接触到阳光，所以称之为黎明寺。郑王庙规模庞大，仅次于大皇宫和玉佛寺。主塔庙堂现供有郑昭王像及遗物，殿内悬有中国式的灯笼。每年12月举行的皇家托的卡定祭典，是郑王庙的最大庆典，也是泰国王室的重要祭典之
