Visit Wat Saket Ratchaworamahawihan

Songkran is considered the Thai New Year, and making merit by paying respects to Buddha during this time is a tradition that Thai people follow to bring good fortune for the year ahead. Wat Saket, commonly known as the Golden Mount, is located in the heart of Phra Nakhon district, Bangkok. This temple has been significant since ancient times and is classified as a royal temple. Upon arrival, it is recommended to first pay respects to the principal Buddha image housed within the main chapel. Then, explore other key spots within the temple. The highlight here is the Golden Mount or Phu Khao Thong, which houses sacred relics of the Buddha at its summit. How to get there: Take the Saen Saep Canal boat to Phan Fa Bridge, then walk approximately 400 meters. It's easy to find!
