Wat Saket Ratcha Vora Maha Wihan is a Buddhist temple located in the eastern part of the Old City (Phra Nakhon district), opposite Wat Ratchanadda, overlooking Bori Phat Street.

The temple dates back to the Ayutthaya era when it was called Wat Sakae. King Rama I renovated the temple and renamed it Wat Saket. During the reign of King Rama III, a gold-plated chedi was built on a high artificial hill, and because of this, the title Chedi Phu Kau Thong (Golden Mountain) was added to the temple. The mountain represents one of the symbols of Buddhism, Mount Meru. However, the construction was unsuccessful due to the weakness of the ground, and the mountain sank. Repairs were carried out under King Rama V, after which the temple was again renamed Suvannabanphot - the same as the Golden Mountain, only in Sanskrit. This building has become a popular attraction in Bangkok, however, the rest of the temple is less visited.

At the end of the 19th century, wat was used for cremation, mainly by the poor.

Before the construction of skyscrapers began, the Golden Mountain, with a height of 76 meters, was the tallest building in Bangkok.
