Golden Mount Temple (Wat Saket)

Recently, Thailand has been visa-free, so I found a weekend plus Monday to take a short vacation for a few days. Although it's only three days, I took a lot of satisfactory photos. Bangkok is a crazy and interesting city The Buddha statues all over the street, the friendly locals, the backpackers of different skin colors, and the terrible traffic are the impressions Bangkok left me. Share the locations of these 9 pictures to facilitate everyone to check in 1⃣️Lad ya 8: The classic position of the Big Buddha in the Water Gate Temple, with a strong visual shock.

The Golden Mount is an amazing child-friendly temple in the heart of Bangkok. Wat Saket holds the title of the highest temple in Bangkok. The landmark can be seen from miles around and once at the temple, the top can be reached by climbing some 318 steps which encircle the chedi. Once upstairs you exit the temple itself. This one is not very impressive, but you do have a great view of the city from up here! By the way, you can also buy an ice-cold can of drink here and a coke tastes really extra good after such a climb! We enjoyed the visit to this temple. It's really a very different experience than at the famous temples! #bangkoktrip #thailand #holidayvacation
