Built on an artificial man-made hill, the Golden Mount is a well-known landmark.
To get to the top requires a climb up some 300 steps.
Before beginning the climb, you will find an unusual cemetery built into the base of the Golden Mount.
Covered in vines and overgrown trees, it emits a rather spooky out-of-era vibe.
Perhaps this is because in the late 18th century,
Wat Saket served as the capital's crematorium and the dumping ground for some 60,000 plague victims.
