Bangkok 02 08 Wat Saket Golden Mount Chedi [13 of 27]
Wat Saket (The Golden Mount) is an artificial 100m hill, topped by a golden chedi. Rama V built the golden chedi to house a relic of Buddha, which sits atop the chedi. It was found at the ancient town of Kapilavastu in 1898, and presented to the King by the then British Raj government of India. The inscription was believed to be dated back to the pre-Asokan period.
