Wat Saket & The Golden Mount
Profile
Climb to the top of Wat Saket, home of The Golden Mount (Phu Khao Thong) — one of Bangkok’s most iconic and spiritually significant landmarks. Built during the Ayutthaya period and later restored by King Rama I, the temple is crowned by a gleaming golden chedi that offers breathtaking 360-degree views of Bangkok’s Old Town. Visitors ascend via a spiral staircase surrounded by bells and lush greenery, creating a peaceful journey to the summit. Inside, sacred relics of the Buddha are enshrined, and the temple hosts the famous Loy Krathong festival each November. Wat Saket combines serenity, history, and stunning views — a must-see for any Bangkok traveler.
