The golden pagoda on top of the hill with the relic of the Buddha inside. Beautiful view of Bangkok old town and sunset. You can walk about 20 minutes or catch a Tuk Tuk for 60 THB. You can have dinner at Thipsamai Padthai afterward as it is very closed by.

“This place has amazing views all over Bangkok, lovely temple really enjoyed our visit here. Would recommend going at sunset for an even better view.” --- Tourist's feedback. Wat Saket ‘The temple of the Golden Mount’, which is located outside the old Rattanakosin island area of Bangkok, is one of the city’s oldest temples. The structure of Wat Saket is distinct because of the 80-meter high mountain, called Phu Khao Thong (meaning Golden Mountain), where the temple’s main gilded chedi (or stupa) rests. This ‘mountain’, formed from the debris of a collapsed chedi commissioned to be built by King Rama III, was once the highest point in all of Bangkok. The Golden Mountain is a well-known and much revered landmark in Bangkok. A climb to the top of the mount is a journey of more than 300 steps.

It might lack the fame of other more celebrated sites like the Grand Palace, but the Golden Mount is one landmark that’s well worth seeking out if you are visiting Bangkok. Although it is now dwarfed in comparison to Bangkok’s modern-day buildings located elsewhere in the city, the Golden Mount (Phu Khao Tong) was once the tallest structure in Bangkok and a walk to the top will reward you with panoramic 360° views of the city.
