The annual temple fair at Wat Sa Ket where the famous Golden Mount is located is set to take place once again from Nov 4-13.
The grandest of its kind in Bangkok, the age-old fair features a 10-day extravaganza of food and fun. Expect tons of savoury dishes and desserts, old-school amusement rides, games, shows and much more. The event also provides the public with a chance to climb the Golden Mount, which is normally closed at 6pm, after nightfall.
The highlight for culture lovers will happen on Nov 9 when the sacred ceremony to wrap the pagoda on the top of the Golden Mount with a red robe takes place. The ritual will begin at 4pm and will continue into the night.
