Around the circumference at the base of Wat Saket there are a series of animals that correspond to the Chinese Zodiac years. Born in 1986, I’m the year of the Tiger.
Before beginning the climb to the top, I thought it might be a challenge.
However, the hike up 318 steps proved to be quite easy (the kind you could take 2 -3 steps at a time if you wanted) – the steps were wide and long and wrapped around the mountain in a manageable incline.
It takes just 10 to 15 minutes to reach the top.
