Tourists at Wat Arun, Bangkok

The behavior of tourists at important touristic sites never ceases to amaze me. For many, the main objective seems to be capturing the perfect shot for Instagram, TikTok, or whatever platform is trending. The history, art, and culture of the site seem unimportant.

In this case, as we understood, the temple was filled with tourists from Indonesia and Malaysia eager to re-enact scenes from a popular TV show that was filmed at Wat Arun.

Needless to say, these visitors became wonderful photo subjects for me.
