Wat Saket also popularly known as the Golden Mount or ‘Phu Khao Thong’, is a temple situated near the river and if you ever take cab to and fro from the busy city of Siam to Yaowarat you will see a golden sheen of chedi from far. Within chedi houses a Buddha relic and welcomes all worshippers to pay respect too.
