Golden Mount (Wat Saket), Bangkok, Thailand

The Golden Mount is a man-made hill. You stop for one circuit of the old town, not for another tower. The ground temple is a look; the climb is the half-day. Close it like this: walk in from Ratchadamnoen, take Loha Prasat or Wat Suthat first, climb, then the alms-bowl lane, and stop. Khaosan waits until after dark, or drops off the day. Jay Fai or Thip Samai, not both, and not in the same dusk as the climb.
Best time
The Tourism Authority of Thailand's Japanese page lists daily 08:00–18:00 and 50 baht for foreigners. Recent on-site reports differ. Follow the stair-side booth that day. This station does not turn a travel-blog fare into the price.
How to go
Walk Ratchadamnoen from the Democracy Monument. The Saen Saep boat at Phan Fa is another fare, then a walk. MRT Sam Yot also works.
Tips
- · The climb and the ground temple are not the same thing. The booth sets the charge.
- · Keep dusk for this hill. Mahanakhon and State Tower move to another day.
