Sunsets while dining on seafood, blissful. The sun next to Wat Arun is mesmerising.

Dining during the sunset at View ARUN is a special affair. The rooftop restaurant has an immediate view of Chao Phraya River and is on eye-level with Wat Arun. It’s serene to watch boats and barges float by as the sun sets next to one of Thailand’s most iconic structures.
