Known as the Golden Mount, Wat Saket in Bangkok lies atop a small hill and offers visitors a truly fascinating viewing experience and one that provides a unique perspective on the city’s religious heritage. Finding centrally located Bangkok serviced accommodation should definitely be considered when in the city since it lets you easily access the many attractions on offer such as Wat Saket. Citadines Sukhumvit 16 Bangkok is one such Sukhumvit serviced apartment worth considering and is ideally located within walking distance from the nearest subway and skytrain stations too.
Part of the experience of visiting Wat Saket is the climb up the 300 steps to the top where you fill find the gold chedi. Inside is a sacred Buddha relic and it is common to see worshippers and devotes at this sacred site which lends to its religious aura. As you explore the site you will also come across a main chapel. If you are visiting during Loy Krathong which generally falls in November, a further treat awaits since Wat Saket hosts a temple fair and is transformed into a place for celebration.
