This is Where They Cremated the Dead during a Plague in Bangkok [Best Temple City View in Bangkok]

This is Where They Cremated the Dead during a Plague in Bangkok. Best Temple City View in Bangkok? Welcome to Wat Saket Temple or better known as the Golden Mount. This might be the best view to see Bangkok's skyline.

Wat Saket, also known as the Golden Mount Temple, is an iconic and historic temple in Bangkok. It is renowned for its scenic views overlooking the city. The temple's history is intertwined with a dark period during the 18th century plague. During the reign of King Rama II in 1820, a cholera outbreak led to the death of more than 30,000 people in Bangkok. As a result, Wat Saket became a main location for cremating the dead, as it was situated outside the city walls. The temple's capacity was overwhelmed by the immense number of corpses, leading to vultures feeding on the bodies, creating a grim image and reminder of the deaths. Today, vulture sculptures at the temple serve as proof of this dark history. Despite this haunting past, Wat Saket is a revered temple and a must-visit for its historical significance, stunning views, and unique architectural design
