Bangkok, Thailand. 9th October 2022

Published on 9 October 2022 at 10:52

This morning we visited another temple which we hadn't previously seen.  Wat Saket, the Golden Mount.  After a half hour walk in 32 degree heat with high humidity, we entered the grounds and climbed the stairs to the top, pausing to take in the views and admire the golden Buddha statues along the way.  The temple was busy with locals performing their devotions which made it all the more atmospheric.  We then returned to a bar on the riverside to replenish the fluid we'd lost.

Great to hear about your travels so far. We went to Wat Arun and Wat Saket when we were there too. Our observations were somewhat different to yours - I moaned about the number of steps at Wat Arun, and we had coffee in a graveyard at Wat Saket!! Great places though.

Glad you both got there safely. Enjoying reading your stories. Although I'm from that part of the world, I don't think I could do the heat and the humidity now.
