The golden Mount is actually located near the Democracy Monument and next to the Western final stop of the Klong (Canal) Boat connecting East Bangkok with the west of the city. Admission to the sight is about 50 Bht, but locals pay less. 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. Walking up the more than 318 stairs to the top takes can be quite tiring, but the view on Bangkok is definitely worth the effort.
