The Temple of Dawn on the west bank, its 70-metre prang covered in broken Chinese porcelain, best at sunset from across the river.
The cross-river ferry from Tha Tien costs a few baht. Climb the prang early in the day; the steps are very steep. For photographs, view it from the restaurants on the east bank at sunset.
