Frequently asked questions
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 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.
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.
