The temple is in a great spot and very active with worshippers and monks, this should be born in mind because I was mortified to see the troops of nearly naked tourists clambering up. Come on guys have a little respect eh.

We found this place by accident, and thought it was a highlight of our trip. A very peaceful and tranquil place. There is a nice takeaway shop to grab a nice cool ice cream. A fantastic view once up the top.

If you like temples with great views, you will probably like this one. It does have a fair amount of stairs to the top, so you must be able bodied to see this one. There are some beautiful bells placed along the way up and down that you can ring for clearing bad spirits and good luck. A nice place.... More

The golden mount is a great wat to visit! There are nice areas to relax, the steps to it provide a great exercise area for some locals and of course tere are actual busdhists walking around. Don't forget to go on the rooftop and hit the gong :)

Visited the golden mount as last stop on our day 1 BKK holiday on Urban Adventures Tuk Tuk Experience. Interesting history re crematorium across the road at base of climb. Big centipedes can be found all the way up, with bells that can be chimed half way up for good luck! At top a few souvenir trinkets can be bought,... More

It's worth a visit if you love seeing a city from a vantage point. The temple itself is not really impressive in my opinion - so only go if you're keen on the view (which isn't spectacular).

The best view of old city from the top of the golden mountain at Wat Saket, nearby it has the Ban Bat to visit for your tour from Temple.

Wat Saket always appears in the guidebooks as a highly rated "thing to do" but hardly any tourists seem to go there because its a bit out of the way. It's really worth a visit. If you happen to be staying in Sukhumvit, a fun way to get there is on the public transport klong boats on the Saen Saeb... More
