About
Schnelle Fakten: Golden stenciled ceilings and ornate mosaic tiles catch the sun, making the prayer hall glow like a jewel when afternoon light slants through narrow windows. Visitors often notice more than 30 gilded Buddha images tucked into side chapels, a detail that surprises people expecting a single main shrine.
Highlights: A quirky local custom invites people to thread tiny banana-leaf offerings onto a row of 108 metal pegs, each peg treated as a promise or wish to be released. Warm jasmine smoke and the low, steady tapping of a wooden fish create a tactile soundtrack, making evening prayers feel like a private ritual shared between strangers.
Insider tips
- Dress modestly, cover shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering prayer halls.
- Arrive before 9:00 AM to observe monk routines and avoid midday heat and school groups.
- Visit the stupa at sunrise or late afternoon for the best soft light and reflections for photos.
- Carry small Thai baht for donations or occasional photo fees, and keep voices low during ceremonies.
