The Golden Mount is located on an artificial hill in the Bangkapi District of Bangkok. It was built by King Rama I in the 19th century and later renovated by King Rama II. King Rama IV added the Golden Mount and the mountain path leading directly to the top. King Rama V completed the final pagoda at the top, which houses a collection of royal teeth relics. From the summit, one can overlook the cityscape of Bangkok. The temple also offers scenic views, with a height of 78 meters.
Inside the temple, there is the largest bronze Buddha statue in Thailand and the relic of Lord Buddha's ashes. Surrounding the pagoda at the top is a circular walkway where one can enjoy the panoramic view of the entire Bangkok area. Although the temple does not have a large Buddha statue, there are numerous small ones. If you wish to climb the temple, a voluntary donation of 10 baht per person is required.
Entering through the main gate to the top of the hill, you will see artificial hills, flowing water, flowers, and small scenic spots. There are also many small pagodas, tombs, ash burial niches, and inscriptions along the mountain and on the way down, possibly for the convenience of funeral rituals. To experience the cultural diversity of different temples, visit the Golden Mount.
Wat Arun or the Temple of Dawn is a Buddhist temple located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. It was completed in 1809 and underwent renovations in 1847. With its towering main spire reaching 82 meters in height, Wat Arun is known as the "Eiffel Tower of Thailand" and is the largest Mahayana-style pagoda in the country. The temple complex also includes two smaller temples, one of which houses various Buddha statues. Wat Arun is a significant cultural landmark and one of the most visited temples in Bangkok.
Museum of the three gods
As soon as I stepped into the Three Elephant God Museum, I felt like I was in a pink paradise. It was perfect for girls! Going up the winding stairs, the colorful glass dome, exquisite sculptures, and sacred elephant gods were so lovely. Currently, there aren't many visitors to this beautiful spot, so hurry up and take some photos before it becomes popular!
