Golden Mount Temple Fair (Wat Saket) The oldest temple fair in Bangkok

Thai Temple Fairs (ngan wat) are community events that usually take place on temple grounds during Buddhist religious festivals. The most famous Thai temple fair in Bangkok is the Golden Mount Temple Fair which takes place every November on the grounds and the streets surrounding Wat Saket. The Golden Mount is one of Bangkoks most famous temples and landmark. It is visible from the surrounding area with its brightly lit chedi.

The temple fair takes place around the Loy Krathong Festival with the starting date being seven days prior to Loy Krathong. The festival starts at dawn on the first day with a procession to the top of the golden mountain where a red cloth is wrapped around the golden chedi which contains sacred relics of the Buddha.

The Golden Mount temple fair is the oldest in Bangkok with its origins stretching back to the founding of Bangkok. It is held in a carnival
atmosphere attracting people of all ages.

The temple is a lot of fun to see with lots of food to sample.
