It is a very beautiful place. The entrance fee is 250 baht for Thai people. You can go inside respecting and you can go up to the top of the elephant. Inside is a museum. It is beautiful and magnificent.

The park is lovely, lots of greens and unique statues. You also have to be mindful of the dress code when entering the temple. It has a beautiful interior. There are museums located on the basement and attic. The cafe and restaurant also served good food. The gift shop has affordable items and are not too overpriced.
