Lonely Planet review for Wat Saket

Its a worthy summit where the temple’s Golden Mount (Phu Khao Thong) is visible from Th Ratchadamnoen and plays a good game of optical illusion, appearing closer than its real location. Serpentine steps wind through an artificial hill shaded by gnarled trees, some of which are signed in English, and past graves and pictures of wealthy benefactors. At the peak, you’ll find a breezy 360-degree view of Bangkok’s most photogenic side.
