All the fun of the fair
Visit Bangkok's Wat Saket and travel back in time to the temple fairs of yesterday with the annual Phukhao Thong Temple Fair, which continues around the "Golden Mount" until Friday. A woman with two heads, a little mermaid and her fish tail, and a series of freak show engulf the mountain, plying their cheap tricks and offering plenty of entertainment. Phu Khao Thong is a steep hill inside Wat Saket compound, built during the reign of King Rama III to support the pagoda, which houses a Buddha relic from India.
