Wat Saket (Phu Khao Thong)

If you’re looking for an unforgettable temple experience while in Bangkok, be sure to check out Wat Saket. This stunning temple is perched on top of a hill and offers sprawling city views. From the top of the temple on which it’s perched, you can see all the way to the river. You’ll also find a sacred golden chedi here that’s well worth exploring.
