“Climb the iconic golden chedi on the man-made hill for 360-degree panoramic views of Bangkok’s skyline and explore a temple rich in history and culture.”

Wat Saket Ratchaworamahawihan, or the Golden Mount, is one of Bangkok’s oldest and most revered temples. Its history dates back to the Ayutthaya period and it was restored during King Rama I’s reign. The temple is famous for its golden chedi perched atop an artificial hill, standing prominently in the cityscape.

The Golden Mount is a popular viewpoint where visitors ascend 344 winding steps to reach the summit, paying respects to the Buddha relics housed within the chedi, while enjoying breathtaking panoramic views of the sprawling metropolis below.

During the annual Loy Krathong festival, Wat Saket hosts grand ceremonies and cultural events, attracting both locals and tourists with vibrant lights and traditional festivities.

This temple is ideal for photography enthusiasts, spiritual seekers, and those interested in historic architecture and city views. It offers a peaceful yet inspiring escape in the heart of Bangkok.

We warmly invite you to visit Wat Saket, to experience its spiritual aura and breathtaking vistas of the capital city.
