      Bell tower and exit to the royal palace. The first bell tower was built in the late 18th century, but later replaced under King Rama IV by the current tower.

        The bell tower in Bangkok is an impressive structure, often found as part of the temple complex or in conjunction with religious sites. One of the most famous bell towers in Bangkok is located at Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn. Wat Arun is famous for its magnificent spires (prang) decorated with colorful ceramic pieces that rise high into the sky. The central prang is adorned with numerous small bells and decorative elements that shimmer beautifully in the sunlight. Although this tower is not a classic bell tower in the sense of a standalone building, it is a striking feature, reminiscent of a clock tower through its shape and decoration. There are other temples and religious sites in Bangkok that have bell towers or bells used for ceremonies and prayers. These towers often serve to enhance the spiritual atmosphere and to call or remind the faithful.
