Today, the place is used for hosting royal ceremonies and welcoming the king's guests, State guests, and other foreign dignitaries. It is also a place where remains of kings and high-ranked members of the royal family were situated before cremation.

During the construction a bell was found here, and the next King Rama II moved that bell to Wat Phra Kaew, which is more or less opposite Wat Rakhang on the other side of the river, and gave 5 new bells to the Temple. All around the theme of bells is prominent in this Temple.

12:30 PM / 5:30 PM Passing by Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn). Option to continue sightseeing independently Wat Arun, locally known as Wat Chaeng, is a landmark temple on the west (Thonburi) bank of the Chao Phraya river. It’s easily one of the most stunning temples in Bangkok, not only because of its riverside location but also because the design is very different from the other temples you can visit in the Thai capital. Wat Arun (nicknamed the 'Temple of Dawn') is partly made up of colourfully decorated spires and stands majestically over the water.
