Seeing a Beloved Slice of Southeast Asia Anew on an Oceania Cruise

"Zipping through the streets of Bangkok in a tuk-tuk, dilapidated shophouses streaking across my periphery, I marvel again at the way the gold stupas glint under a fireball sun and strings of marigolds spill out of the wholesale flower market. Pok and I have plans to check out some galleries and a riverfront café in Charoenkrung, but we scrap them to summit the temple of Wat Saket. Dubbed Golden Mount, it is set atop the highest hill in Bangkok—344 steps up with 360-degree views of the city—and has a magnificent gilded chedi, a sacred marble structure enshrining relics of the Buddha."

The temple itself is not very big, but the whole complex is impressive! I liked the access path to the top, it's like a walk through a fairy tale world, with statues of all kinds of animals, with small ponds with colorful fish, with stairs winding through lush vegetation. From the top you have a very beautiful view of the city, I think it's interesting to see both the sunrise and the sunset from here. Up in the temple, there are also a few vending machines where you can buy water or juice. I visited it around 10 am and it wasn't very crowded. The descent is done on a different route!

I liked this place. Of course it is one of many buddhistic temples in Bangkok, but this one has some extra. You can walk up a little hill/temple and from the top you have a nice view over Bangkok. The ticket is 100 Baht, and of course as always you have to wear appropriate clothes. For some of the buildings you have to take off your shoes. You can get something to drink here as well as some souvenirs or the right clothes, should you wear something inappropriate for the temple. For me it was one of the temples I enjoyed most.

A beautiful temple, indeed most of Bangkok temples are, somehow my wife and I find a temple to Be more enjoyable if it’s not to busy, so this one isn’t. Is not one of the most famous and popular so our visit was so enjoyable, we had fun visiting this and emerging into the culture. The top of the temple provides great views and remember always to respect the culture and dress accordingly. Although they have a small store providing refreshments mind Bangkok could be very hot so bring your own refreshments

The view at the top of the temple is amazing with overlooking the city & the strong wind is refreshing as well. You also have to walk up on 300+ baby steps which isn’t tiring at all! This is one of the temples you shouldn’t miss out on around the Bangkok area. There are many restaurants & cafes outside as well and all are at reasonable prices.

What an amazing temple! Some of the reviews were not accurate so here's the truth: It's a not so hard climb up, for a one of a kind view of Bangkok. They have mist streamers to cool you off along the way up. There is a cafe near the base of the temple. If you go when it opens before the tourist groups come, you'll be the crowd and the sun! The only thing that sucked for me, is there was some beautiful amulets but they are cash only. Make sure you check out everything on the temple grounds. There are plenty of other places to see other than just the Golden Mount!

A beautiful mystical place in the heart of Bangkok. Known as the Golden Mount, it is worthwhile spending a large part of your morning admiring, blissfully moving along and be lost in the buddhist chants and environment. I spent 3 hours here walking around slowly and chatting with monks, praying and lost in the mysticism. Worth time and the climb.

A must see if you are in Bangkok. The Golden Mount is 344 steps up but they are very small steps with some areas for a break. It was not too difficult - coming from a young, but not in the best shape, traveler. It’s really beautiful once you make it to the top. Not only do you get the see the incredible structures and Buddhas, but also the views of the city. There are many small shops nearby as well with ice cream or souvenirs. I could have probably spent half a day here. If I remember correctly I believe it was 200TBH

A MUST visit for everyone coming to bangkok. The view from top is just breathtaking. And the mount itself is very beautiful. Note: Dress appropriately for a temple. With knees and shoulders covered.
