✨ Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn ✨

One of Bangkok’s most iconic landmarks and easily one of the most beautiful temples I’ve ever visited. Rising above the Chao Phraya River, Wat Arun’s intricate porcelain details and towering central spire make it a masterpiece of Thai architecture.

I timed my visit around sunset, and watching the temple glow as the city lights came alive was unforgettable. Photos capture the beauty, but standing beneath it puts its scale and craftsmanship into perspective.

If you’re visiting Bangkok, put Wat Arun at the top of your list.

📍 Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn), Bangkok, Thailand 🇹🇭

According to local law enforcement, deputies responded to a welfare check after the father — who was out of the country in South America — couldn’t reach his family. When deputies entered the home, they discovered that a mother had taken the lives of her two children and then her own. Authorities have stated there is no ongoing threat to the community as the investigation continues.

The home was reportedly just listed on the market this week. Neighbors are understandably devastated and in shock.

🕊️ It’s impossible to comprehend something like this — and especially why the children. Our hearts ache for them and for the father and extended family who are now facing the unimaginable.

Please take a moment to check in on your loved ones, your neighbors, and your friends. You never truly know what someone may be going through behind closed doors.

🚨 BIG NEWS: Florida House Votes to End Property Taxes for Homeowners! 🚨

In a historic 80–30 vote today, the Florida House of Representatives passed a sweeping plan that could eventually eliminate nearly all property taxes on primary residences!

If this becomes law, Florida homeowners would see their non-school property taxes phased out entirely, potentially saving families thousands of dollars every year.

What you need to know:
✅ Who it’s for: Only homeowners with a homestead exemption (primary residences).
✅ What stays: You would still pay taxes for local school districts, which are not part of this cut.
✅ The Catch: It still needs to pass the Florida Senate and then get 60% of the vote from YOU in November 2026.
