Golden Mount and Wat Saket in Bangkok!

One of Bangkok's oldest temples is Wat Saket, also known as "The temple of the Golden Mount," and it is situated outside the old Rattanakosin island area. The temple was known as Wat Sakae during the Ayutthaya era, which lasted until 1767. However, on King Rama I's order, the temple was restored and renamed Wat Saket Ratcha Wora Maha Wihan. The main gilded chedi (or stupa) of Wat Saket is perched atop a 60-meter-high mountain known as Phu Khao Thong (meaning Golden Mountain), which gives the temple its distinctive structure. This "mountain" was once Bangkok's highest point; it was created from the remains of a King Rama III-commissioned chedi that had collapsed. The Golden Mountain is a popular and prominent place to visit! #wecreate #bangkok
