Wat Arun 04

Wat Arun was built in the days of Thailands ancient capital of Ayutthaya, and was originally known as Wat Makok "Olive Temple". In the ensuring era when Thonburi was capital, King Taksin changed the name to Wat Chaeng. The temple briefly hosted the revered Emerald Buddha after it was recaptured from Laos, but it was moved to Wat Phra Kaew in 1784.
