The Golden Mount (Phu Khao Thong) at Wat Saket in Bangkok, Thailand

Climb The Golden Mount (Phu Khao Thong) at Wat Saket in Bangkok, Thailand – a historic 60-meter artificial hill with a stunning golden chedi housing Buddha relics, offering 360° views of the old city skyline. In this video, ascend the 344 steps lined with bells and shrines, explore the temple grounds with its prayer halls and overgrown plague cemetery from the cholera era, and learn how King Rama III’s collapsed chedi accidentally created this landmark finished by Rama V. One of Bangkok’s oldest temples from the Ayutthaya period, Wat Saket sits just outside Rattanakosin Island near Chinatown, perfect for your Old Town itinerary with Grand Palace or Giant Swing nearby – entry is cheap (50 THB) and it’s less crowded than major sites. Visit during Loy Krathong festival for candlelit processions or anytime for sunset views and a meditative escape from Bangkok’s chaos. https://jasonmichaelphillips.com/contact http://instagram.com/jasonmichaelphillips http://facebook.com/jasonmichaelphillips https://www.tiktok.com/@jasonmichaelphillips https://www.twitch.tv/jasonmichaelphillips Join channel to support my videos!
