Wat Saket (Saket Temple) was built in the 18th century by King Rama I (r. 1782 1809). It served as the city crematorium over the next century and an estimated 60,000 people were cremated here during the plague that ravaged the city. A golden stupa was added in the 19th century which, at 78m, was for a long time the highest point in the city. It is now called Golden Mount and is said to house relics of the Lord Buddha.
