Showing Respect & Making Wishes
How to show respect
Visitors can pray and show respect in the temple by joining their hands in a "Wai", kneeling, and bowing three times.
Express your wishes
You can express your wish in your own way. It is customary to silently state one's name, where one comes from, and to ask for luck and good things in life. It is not necessary to speak Thai — what matters is the intention and the inner attitude.
