15 NOVEMBER 2018 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Monks wrap the chedi at the top of Wat Saket, also called the Golden Mount, during the red cloth ceremony. Wat Saket is on a man-made hill in the historic section of Bangkok. The temple has golden spire that is 260 feet high, which was the highest point in Bangkok for more than 100 years. The temple construction began in the 1800s during the reign of King Rama III and was completed in the reign of King Rama IV. A  red cloth (reminiscent of a monk's robe) is placed around the chedi at the top of  Golden Mount during the weeks leading up to the Thai holy day of Loy Krathong, which is November 22 this year.
