There is a code of conduct for visiting temples. It is important to act and dress with respect when visiting religious sites. Women may accept a gift from a monk but must be careful never to touch him. Shorts and tank tops are not appropriate. Hats must be taken off when entering the grounds. Shoes must be taken off before going into the temples. When sitting in front of Buddha, sit with feet to the side. Bow in the presence of elderly monks. Giving a small monetary donation will be greatly appreciated. Never point your finger or soles of your feet towards a monk or a Buddha figure.
