Wat Saket: Temple of the Golden Mount

Wat Saket, or the Temple of the Gold Mount has a very exquisite detailed architecture. Also known as Phu Khao Thong, or Golden Mount, its mounting crown of gold makes it so popular among locals and foreign alike. Wat Saket is best visited during the night wherein its crown is prominent among its features. This temple is built by King Rama I to guard the relics of Buddha. The Golden Mount, as part of the Wat Saket, is built around the 19^th century buy King Ramma III.

 The Golden Mount is adorned with many bright-colored lanterns and the temple ground turns into a fun-filled gathering. Climb into the cupola and see a very beautiful, heartwarming view of Bangkok.

Visiting a temple with history like the Wat Saket’s makes you think how it is constructed. The very unique infrastructure and the exquisite Golden Mount, they are also finely made.

Amazing Thailand

I spent 4 days in Bangkok, Thailand. This is my first time to travel international. Visiting Thailand gives me the chance to explore their culture, food, and enjoy some time with the locals.

Gundam Fever

This the first time to build a gundam model kit.. I chose the R-78 because it is the first character of the mobile suit.. This is a good choice to try the basic modeling techniques first before going to MG, i might screw up the more expensive MG kits...
