Visitor Reviews
This place is amazing!! It's huge! You will walk a lot. There are lots of wonderful photo opportunities. There is a buffet, they give you a water as well. I went without a tour group. I recommend going in the afternoon to see the sunset, and also to see the lights light on. Take a tripod to take pictures. You will take a lot, just like a did.
Amazing place to visit. Beautifully put together. Excellent view over the bay day and night. Great buffet and entertainment areas. The lights look fabulous when the sun goes down.

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.
