Frequently asked questions
How long should I plan for the visit?
Most visitors spend 30-60 minutes at a single temple. Larger complex sites like ones with multiple buildings take 1-2 hours. Allow extra time on weekends and Buddhist holy days when locals come for merit-making.
Can I take photos inside?
Photography is allowed in courtyards and around statues. Inside the main shrine some temples ask visitors not to photograph the principal Buddha image especially during ceremonies. Look for signs and follow the lead of locals.
How do I get to Namuang Safari Park?
