Wat Arun or Wat Chaeng locates by the west bank of the Choa Praya River, Bangkok. The highlight of Wat Arun is Praprang, the huge pagoda. Old Praprang of Wat Arun, with 79 meter height,  have been one of the famous symbols of Thailand. I am not sure how old is Praprang?  But I realize that it is old and good tourist site in Bangkok.

Today - April 12 - Day of astronautics in the CIS and the International Day of human space flight! The date was chosen by chance: it was on this momentous day in 1961 rocket "R-7", created by a Soviet plant "Progress", to give the pilot Yuri Gagarin into orbit. From that moment began the real space age.

Exactly twenty years after the first human space flight, April 12, 1981 launched the first manned flight in the American program "Space Shuttle."

In honor of both events in many cities around the world since 2001, held a party-event "St. George's Night." Is organized Space Generation Advisory Council (Space Generation Advisory Council) - a non-governmental organization that brings together participants from more than 60 countries.
