For foreigner method I will explain in Eng. If you feel something bad or unlucky in life, you can try to visit here. Here is the place to donate for someone who pass away in accident but they don’t have anyone even family to take care him after they gone. So, you will donate for their coffins. The flow as follow; 1. Write your name and last name on pink paper 2. Queuing for donation and authority will right your name down in orange paper. 500bath for a set of coffin. However, you can donate less than that. 3. Bring pink paper to stick on coffin inside the place. 4. Pray for god in temple to bring up your luck and life become better or any wish which you may need 5. Burn down the orange paper in pot -finish-

It's a wonderful place to visit. But there is no tourist guide and you must know something about respecting to this place by your self. Ladies are better to cover their legs and also there is a horizontal white stone on the ground of main temple entrance which you must not to put your step on it. They pray twice a day every day of week and while the praying is going on, you must not beat the bells which are beside the temple. It will coast 20 bahts for every single person who wants to visit the main temple and it worth a look.

Very nice temple grounds. Definitely worth a visit to see the beauty of the temples and the wats themselves. Would recommend a night visit if you want to avoid the crowds! Be sure to be respectful from an attire perspective.
