Wat Saket, or by its full name Wat Saket Ratchaworamahawiharn, is a Buddhist Temple better known in English as the Temple of the Golden Mount. It is located between Ratchadamnoen Klang Road and Boripihat Road. Within its grounds is the Chedi Phu Khao Thong, the Golden Mount.

Wat Saket was built during the Ayutthaya era, during which time it was known as Wat Sakae. King Rama I instituted the renovation of the temple, and renamed it Wat Saket.
