Golden Mount Palace ("Wat Saket") sits atop a man-made hill in Bangkok. 300 steps lead up to a spectacular viewpoint. Wat Saket houses an impressive golden buddha relic and is an annual sacred pilgrimage site in November. A local recommended a stop here on the way to Wat Pho and I was glad we did. Just be ready to sweat buckets going up those stairs in Thailands humidity!
Do's and Donts
Do:
-ring the bells all the way up the stairs!
-stop and pay respect on the rooftop
-explore the beautiful grounds
Don't:
-listen to the nearby tuk tuk drivers who insist that it is closed for the day (ie- "why dont you let me show you the highlight of Bangkok instead")
-need special attire or privilege to enter (entrance fee is a mere 20 baht per person- less than one USD)
