Wat Saket, Bangkok

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.

The temple grounds feature mature trees and typical Buddhist structures such as the main chapel, ordination hall and library. Its origins can be traced back to the Ayutthaya period (1350- 1767 AD) and it underwent major renovations during King Rama I’s reign (1782-1809).
