Wat Saket (Golden Mount)
I come up here when I want to see the old city from above without spending a fortune. The Golden Mount is genuine Bangkok, not a tourist set piece.
An artificial hill with a golden chedi on top. The 360-degree view from the top is one of the best in Bangkok — and it costs almost nothing.
