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.
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.
Is there an entry fee?
Most Ayutthaya 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.
