During the lantern festival, Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) transforms into a poetic vision of light and prayer. Thousands of floating lanterns drift down the Chao Phraya, carrying hopes and memories. Stand beneath the temple’s spire, make a wish, and watch the river become a sea of glowing dreams—this is Bangkok at its most heartfelt and beautiful.
