Since What Arun is one of the most famous temples in Bangkok, our advice is to try and arrive early in the morning close to opening hours so you can bypass a lot of the tourist traffic. Of course, you can go anytime of the day, but the heat and the high volume of other travelers may interfere with your photo taking experience.
