The Wat Saket temple, more popularly known as “the Golden Mount” houses a large gold Chedi atop its fortifications that draws visitors from across the world. The temple is also famed for hosting the annual Loy Krathong festival, which is when lanterns bearing candles are set afloat on the Chao Phraya River that creates a magical twinkling vista on the water just as the sun descends the horizon. For the celebrations, the temple is swathed with red cloth and a carnival explodes around the perimeter offering you some delicious food and interesting trinket stalls, as well as various theatrical performances and shows featuring themes from the sacred to the bizarre. Wat Saket is set atop a hill in the middle of Bangkok, and the summit can be reached via an exhausting trek up 318 steps. However, the view once one reaches the top is truly astounding and on a clear day, you’ll be treated to magnificent Bangkok skyline as well as a view of the old Rattanakosin Island. So the next time your travels call you to Bangkok, make sure you tick off a visit to the Golden Mount if you want a break between meetings and shopping excursions.
