Baijoke Towers/Golden Mount - Bangkok

When I travel I enjoy great views of nature beauty or the cities. Can someone tell me where these two spots are? They are mentioned in my book however, not the location. And are they accessible at nite or just during the day? Weekends?

The Golden Mount is a Buddhist Temple in Bangkok located on top of a high hill, in an area of Bangkok a bit from the river and not on th main tourist path. There are good views of Bangkok from the top. I think it is worth a visit if you have more than 3 days in the city. There is a large monastery attached to the temple as well. This temple is mentioned in virtually all guidebooks on Thailand. Opening hours would be as for any temple, your hotel may be able to give you specifics if your guidebook does not.

To the best of my knowledge, the Baijoke Towers is a high-rise apartment building in Bangkok. I don't know the location. Can't image it is worth visiting, maybe it has a great view.

I was able to find both locations on two different maps. Since I will be there for 6 days I believe I'll visit the Mount during the day and the Towers at nite. At least one tower is a hotel so hopefully open in the evenings. For anyone who would like to know, it is near the Pratunam Market in the Siam Sq area. Just North of the Grand Hyatt Erawan.

The Baiyoke Sky Hotel is a 92 story tower (the tallest in Bangkok) located in the Pratunam area, a 20-30 minute walk from the nearest skytrain station Chitlom near the World Trade Centre. The revolving roof deck is on the 84th floor and is open from 10am-10pm. Admission is 120 baht. There are also restaurants on the 76/78/79 floors and if you eat there, there is no charge for the observation deck, but the meals are just so so.
