The Golden Mount Temple, Bangkok, Thailand
|
We visited Golden Mount in Bangkok, Thailand on October 26, 2022. This Landmark, on the only hill in Bangkok, is of great significance for all followers of The Lord Buddha. 320 stairs take you up to the top for panoramic views of Rattanakosin Island.
Wat Saket or the Temple of the Golden Mount, Bangkok, is an ancient temple dating back to the Ayutthaya Period. |
Previously called Wat Sakae, the name was changed to wat saket during the reign of King Rama I. The Golden Mount, built under the rule of King Rama V, is 77 meters tall and at the top reside many Buddhist relics found at Kapilavastu ancient city. Some other interesting things in this Bangkok temple are the many Buddha images, the temple hall, the pagoda, the scripture hall, and the Sri Maha Bodhi tree.
This visiting program is so precious for our foundation to enrich our knowledge at the same time to see how culture is applied in everyday life of a society and how people maintain the value of nature in their behaviors toward their fellow men as well as the environment.
