A temple on the Golden Mount, a man-made hill in old Bangkok that grew out of 19th-century earthworks. A white staircase spirals up past walls, bells and niches to a gilded chedi at the top, which holds a Buddhist relic. The terrace offers one of the best panoramas of the old city, from the Grand Palace to the business district. In November a lantern-lit temple fair takes place here.
