Note it’s 100 baht pp, cash only (not 50 as Google says). Still worth it, as not very crowded and there are decent views of the city from the top. The vulture sculptures you can see as you head down from the top is trippy and worth seeing as well.

Worth a stop if you've got more than a couple of days in Bangkok. A small temple at the top of some steps, with great 360 views all around the city, particularly at sunset. Only takes about 30 mins and the steps aren't too bad, certainly doable by all ages.

This temple is one of the oldest in Bangkok and to climb up the Golden Mountain (79m) is a must do in Bangkok. The temple is not so nice like the main and famous temples at the river, but this green Oase with the hill is really nice. From the top of the hill you have a great view over the oldtown and the skyscrapers in the background. You can combine this attraction with a visit of Wat Rachabophit which is close to the hill. Only a 20min foodwalk to Chnatown. The best time to visit is early in the morning. Then it’s not so hot and there is most often no smog.

Free to locals and less than $2USD for tourists Wat Saket is arguably the most impressive Buddhist temple in Bangkok. Built in the Ayutthaya-era the main temple is accessed by 344 steps and thereby best visited during shaded times or early morning. Featuring impressive city views and an extensive collection of Buddhas plus paintings guests should set aside 60-90 minutes depending on athleticism and interest.

This amazing Buddhist Temple was built during the mid 19th century on a man made hill. The walk up takes you through landscaped, chapels, subsidiary temples and bells, in a circular path up to the peak. The temple at the top houses many altar, but the most important structure is the stupa believed to house a relic of Buddha brought back by Prince Pritsadang from Sri Lanka. Sadly, the stupa is currently undergoing renovation and little of it can be seen. The views from the top are amazing!

Beautiful temple off the beaten track. It is within walking distance (10-15 minutes) from Sam Yot MRT. The climb up Golden Mountain is beautiful. The stairs are gentle and lead along a circular path to the top, past niches, chapels, bells and gongs. The stupa at the top is under restoration, but the views are just as good. At the base there are shops selling food, drinks and souvenirs. There are also tables for sitting and resting. The tourist ticket also includes a bottle of water. It is well worth a visit. Tip: Wear a cap and sunglasses as the sun is very strong there.

I visited here with my wife and three kids one lovely and extremely hot afternoon. The temple has nicely manicured grounds with pretty vegetation. The temple has a great view of the city as well. I recommend morning time for a not so hot experience though. As with all the temples I’ve visited in Thailand, I loved this one too.
