Travel
Most of the tour packages around Bangkok offer a stop at Wat Arun, and it is an easy place to access by public transport. For the foreigners, the temple charges an entrance fee of 50 baht (as of September 2010). Wat Arun figures in one of Thailand's most colorful festivals, the Royal Kathin. The King travels down in a procession of royal barges to present new robes to the monks after their three-month lent period.

Famous quotes containing the word travel:
“To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
