What makes this temple special is its Khmer-style building with a red prang. It was built relatively recently. The vihaan in front is quite small and simple. We couldn't find any historical information about this temple that wasn't already included in guidebooks, even those from the Surin tourist office. Like all temples in Surin, Wat Sala Loy is a fairly ordinary temple, despite its modern Khmer prang and the small group of golden Buddha statues to its right.

Free admission. Open from 5:30 am to 10:00 pm.

In Surin I explored the city only on foot, but you can also rent a tuk-tuk or a rickshaw.

Wat Sala Loy is a temple, and when visiting a temple in Thailand there are some rules to follow: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), take off your shoes when entering the building, be quiet, do not hug or kiss, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, do not smoke.
