The Golden Mount is somewhere I had previously been for a coffee.
Here is some text from Bangkok for Visitors.
The Golden Mount is part of the Wat Saket temple located just outside the old royal city precincts, next to the Pom Mahakhan fort. The mount has a somewhat unusual history. It was started by King Rama III early in the nineteenth century. He wanted to build a large chedi on the site to mark the entrance to the city. However, the soft marshy ground could not support such a large structure and it collapsed before it was completed.
The decorations around are quite extensive.
Lottery tickets for sale.
Buddhist images are plenty.
So was this!
Direction was given and we were told how many steps to climb. This visit was in December 2021.
