The Prang adopted mixed influence from both Khmer and Thai but uses Chinese porcelain and tiles for decoration. Indeed, the sight of Wat Aruns Prang is amazing both day and night.
Every now and then, Wat Arun would have light and sound presentation. The show starts every 15 minute during the night. The show brings up different perspective of the already beautiful Prang. Most importantly, the show is free of charge. It gives a brief history of the area.
