Today I'm heading to the tourist area of Old Bangkok to check out an unbelievable Northern Thai restaurant called Huen Lanawadee. The restaurant is tucked away inside Wat Saket, better known to foreigners as The Golden Mount. I'm saying Wat Saket is underrated because although there are tourists there, it's nowhere near on the scale of Wat Arun or Wat Pho and I think it's actually a much better experience here!

About Wat Saket:
Wat Saket, also known as the Golden Mount or Phu Khao Thong, is a Buddhist temple located in the Pom Prap Sattru Phai district of Bangkok, Thailand. The temple sits atop a man-made hill, which was constructed during the reign of King Rama III in the early 19th century. The purpose of building the artificial hill was to serve as a chedi (stupa) to enshrine Buddha relics.
Key features of Wat Saket:
Golden Mount (Phu Khao Thong): The highlight of Wat Saket is the Golden Mount itself. It offers panoramic views of the city and is a popular spot for both tourists and locals. Visitors can climb a series of stairs to reach the top and enjoy the scenic surroundings.
Chedi: At the summit of the Golden Mount, you'll find a gleaming gold chedi. The structure is adorned with golden tiles and stands as a prominent landmark in the area.
Festivals: Wat Saket is particularly lively during the annual Loy Krathong festival when a large number of locals visit the temple to participate in the traditional Loy Krathong activities. The temple grounds are adorned with lanterns and decorations during this festive time.
Wat Saket Fair: The temple hosts an annual fair known as the Wat Saket Fair, typically in November. The fair includes various cultural and religious activities, traditional performances, and food stalls.
Wat Saket Museum: The temple also houses a museum where visitors can learn about the history and significance of Wat Saket. The museum displays artifacts and information related to the temple's construction and development.
Wat Saket holds historical and cultural importance in Bangkok and is a serene place for both locals and tourists to explore. The temple's distinctive architecture, combined with its hilltop location, makes it a unique and picturesque destination in the bustling city.

My name’s Gary and I’ve been living in Bangkok for the past five plus years and travelling Thailand for over ten. I’m obsessed with Thai street food and it’s that obsession that led me to start this RU-vid channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have!
If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (I’m not judging) then maybe not!
