How to Visit
1
Choose daytime park or evening show
The daytime ticket covers the garden route. The bonfire evening is a separate product with dinner and performance, so do not assume it is included.
Tip:Book the evening show separately if that is your plan.
2
Use a one-way garden route
Enter from the northeast side, visit the Dai royal palace area, main garden paths, lake areas, and white pagoda, then exit toward the General Buddhist Temple.
Tip:This avoids backtracking.
3
Check the same-day performance board
Parrot, elephant, and procession times can shape the route. Use them as add-ons rather than letting them make the visit rushed.
Tip:Arrive early for the first morning shows if traveling with children.
4
End at the General Buddhist Temple
The temple sits next to the park and is free. Keep your park ticket if you need to re-enter from the temple side.
Tip:Dress more carefully before entering the temple area.
Highlights
- Former Dai royal garden with easy city access
- Good half-day route combining garden, palace-style buildings, and temple culture

Insider Tips
✦Go early or after 16:00 to avoid the hottest and busiest period.
✦Bring water because park food is priced for visitors.
✦Wear clothing that also works for the temple next door.
✦Keep the daytime ticket if moving between the park and temple.
✦Use the evening show only if you want a packaged performance night.
