Ascent to Golden Mount
Ascent to the highest mountain in Bangkok
One of the most beautiful places in Bangkok is the artificially raised Golden Mount with the Wat Saket Buddhist temple at its top. It is also a great view of practically the whole of Bangkok. Definitely the biggest charm is here in the early evening. Admission is paid here. The temple is located less than two kilometers east of the tourist center of Bangkok – Khao San Street
View of Wat Saket
Wat Saket can be seen from a distance and it is a really impressive and beautiful structure.

Streams and waterfalls
