Visitor Reviews

This was an amazing experience. Be sure to cover up and wear a mask. This is an Indian temple where the locals worship. No pictures allowed inside the temple. Inside is absolutely exquisite. It was inspiring to see how they worship and give offerings.

Very beautiful temple. Lot of foreigners visit these temple. It was very crowded on a Saturday. Nice to see other country people visiting a hindu temple

I visited Wat Khaek in Bangkok and loved the beautiful South Indian architecture and peaceful atmosphere. I prayed and made offerings following KengNamping’s vlog, which made the experience meaningful. There are two offering sets priced at 60 or 100 THB, which include a tray of flowers, oil, drinking water and a random card (random). You can take water and a card home. You can also roll a 20-baht note and place it in a lotus to offer to the Goddess.🪷 For an Silver or gold eye-offering ritual, the sets cost 300 THB for silver or 1,000 THB for gold. When you give a tray to Brahmin priests, they will give you a flower garland, one fruit, holy water to take home. The holy water and drinking water can be used for bathing, washing your hair, or drinking. The temple feels very sacred, well maintained, and is a great place to visit for blessings and cultural experience in the city.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture

Dress Modestly

Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.

Mind Your Feet

Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.

Ask Before Photographing

Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
