Via the Itsarahap MRT station
If you want to visit Wat Arun and avoid the ferry queue, this is the ideal way to get there. The temple is about 800 meters from the train station – a short walk in the cool morning air, though it can get quite humid in the afternoon. Taxis also wait outside the station, and according to reports, the short ride to Wat Arun costs around 37 baht, so haggling is hardly worth it.
The station itself is a stop on the Blue Line at Thanon Itsaraphap in Bangkok Yai and, like the entire MRT network, is clean and modern. Don't expect works of art like in some other stations. It's a functional structure that takes you under the river and out on the other side – and that's precisely the point.
What confuses many visitors is the signage. Several travelers have reported getting lost. So it's best to memorize this before you arrive. Take Exit 1 for Wat Arun. All other routes add ten minutes to your journey and require a detour through the market hall.

Like most public transport stations – efficient, clean, and highly functional. Not particularly artistic (compared to other MRT stations), but definitely a gateway to the sights, sounds, and experiences of the Chao Phraya's west bank.
I keep getting lost here. The signs are confusing. Exit 1 to Wat Arun.
A taxi is easy to find. The ride to Wat Arun costs about 37 baht.
