• The Golden Mount (Wat Saket) - Built by King Rama I in the late 18th century, Wat Saket is one of the oldest temples in Bangkok. Visitors usually come here to climb to the top of the artificial hill from where you have a beautiful view of Bangkok. \nFor a long time, the ‘Golden Mountain’ was one of the tallest landmarks in the city, before the skyscrapers started popping up.\nDuring the 19th century, it served a rather macabre function as a crematorium. Thousands of people who died from the “Black Death” (the plague) were brought here and piled up.\nBecause there were so many victims, it took a long time for the bodies to be cremated and local people gave it the nickname “Vulture Hill” because hundreds of vultures circled above the mountain!\n\nThe total duration includes walking time from the meeting point to the Golden Mount.
