Answer
Photography rules can vary from temple to temple, so it's always good to check for signs indicating what's allowed. Generally, taking photos in the temple grounds is acceptable, but you may be asked to refrain from using flash or capturing images during ceremonies.
• Specifically, at Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha, photography is popular, but it's respectful to avoid snapping pictures of monks without permission.
• Also, remember that some areas within temples may be designated as sacred, where photography might not be allowed. Being mindful and respectful of the local customs will enhance your experience.
Cover shoulders and knees, remove shoes where required, keep voices low and follow signs about photography. Do not climb on sacred structures or pose in ways that treat religious images as props.
