The trip to Wat Arun and a few statues

Thanks to the day off yesterday, I had a chance to start posting some of my photos. These are from my trip to Wat Arun. I wound up taking a longtail boat (an obviously long boat with a auto engine driving the propeller) over to the wat instead of trying to figure out the water taxi system. The round trip cost me about $10-$12 from my best recollection. I know that I did have to negotiate a bit, but in the end just wanted to get there and make sure that I had a way back.

One additional item that I neglected to realize was the docking fee at the Wat. I'm sure there are other ways to get there by auto, but arriving by the river was neat and I got a few good photos out of it.

This first set of photos is the trip on the river to the wat and some of the statues around the grounds. Enjoy.
