## Caption

Photo by irablockphoto / A dramatic night sky serves as the backdrop for the Wat Arun temple, along the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand. The temple underwent a massive restoration from 2013-2017, during which many original tiles in the spire were replaced. Though called Temple of the Dawn, Wat Arun looks magnificent at dusk when lit. When COVID-19 hit this year, the monks of the temple provided free meals and face masks to people affected by the lockdown. Follow irablockphoto for more travel stories.
