A Journey to The Golden Mount

The Golden Mount, or Phu Khao Thong, is a historical temple landmark in Bangkok characterized by its elevated position and striking views.

Originally constructed during the reign of Rama III, the hill was formed from a collapsed stupa. Rama IV built a small stupa on top, while Rama V further enhanced the structure, including a sacred Buddha relic. The hill now features concrete walls added during WWII to protect it from erosion.
