  Golden Mount (พระบรมบรรพต (ภูเขาทอง)), rising 80 meters above the bustling streets of Bangkok's Pom Prap Sattru Phai district, is an important Buddhist temple dating back to the 18th century.

Visitors can climb the 328 steps to the top for panoramic views of the city and explore the surrounding gardens, which are home to various species of plants and statues. Whether you’re seeking tranquility or simply want to soak in the city's skyline, Golden Mount offers a unique blend of spirituality and stunning scenery.
