Frequently asked questions
Is there a dress code?
Yes shoulders and knees should be covered enforced at most temples. Sarongs are sometimes lent at the entrance for a small deposit but bringing your own light cover-up is faster. Hats and sunglasses come off in the main shrine.
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.
Is there an entry fee?
Most Pai temples are free for visitors with a donation box for those who wish to contribute. Major sites sometimes charge 50-200 baht for foreigners. Check at the gate for the current rate.
