À propos
Faits rapides: The Golden Mount offers panoramic city views from its 80-meter tall man-made hill topped with a gleaming golden chedi. The site hosts an annual temple fair every November where thousands climb the 300 steps holding lotus flowers and incense for a blessing.
Points forts: Ascending the steep staircase, visitors reach an open terrace encircling the sparkling Golden Chedi, where sunlight catches thousands of gold leaves, creating a glowing halo. At the temple’s base, you can find skull relics from the old city moat, adding a striking historical contrast to the serene summit experience.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear comfortable shoes for the 300-step climb to the top.
- Visit during weekdays to avoid weekend crowds and long queues.
- Bring a wide-angle lens for capturing the expansive city views.
- Pause at the base to check out the skull relics for an eerie historical contrast.

Avez-vous entendu parler des visites à pied gratuites ?
Après avoir voyagé dans plus de 30 pays, il y a une chose que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise dès le premier jour, et cela a complètement changé ma façon de découvrir les nouvelles villes.
Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.

J'ai fait ces visites dans des dizaines de villes et elles ont été le point fort de presque tous mes voyages. Si vous visitez Bangkok, Thailand, faites-le le premier jour. Vous me remercierez plus tard.
