Presentation Golden Mountain

Thai name : ภูเขาทอ

GPS : 13.75385016,100.50694227 (See on the map)

My opinion:

Wat Saket the golden mountain is perched on a hill overlooking a small town. Its golden chedi is the origin of the name of the place. From the roof, you have a breathtaking view of Bangkok and can see how it's a city of contrasts.
