3 Gilded Buddha Standing at Wat Saket in Bangkok, Thailand

As you begin walking up the stairs to the top of Golden Mount at Wat Saket, you encounter this gilded statue standing in a vine-covered waterfall and shrouded by a swirling mist. It seemed eerie and I later learned why. In the 18th century, about 60,000 victims of the plague were cremated and buried at the base of this artificial mountain.
