This 80-meter tall artificial hill, also known as Phu Khao Thong, features an impressive golden chedi at its summit and is part of Wat Saket. The hill was formed when a chedi being constructed by King Rama III collapsed. Walking the 318 stairs is arduous, but the scent from the surrounding frangipanis helps, and you will be rewarded with an awesome panorama of Bangkok. Be wary of any tuk-tuk drivers who tell you the Mount is closed for a holiday; they just want to take you to their brother's gem shop!
