Walk 344 steps up a man-made hill and the summit gives you Bangkok in full: temple rooftops in front, the modern city pushing up behind, that golden chedi at the top. Climb’s mostly shaded, broken up by places to rest and bells to ring if you want.
Time it for November’s Loy Krathong and you get the candlelit ceremony. The Pom Mahakan neighbourhood around the base still looks like old Bangkok. Worth a wander on your way out.
