Ramkhamhaeng National Museum
- Best time
- Best time: The middle of the day, and mostly as shade rather than for photographs â the walking Buddhas indoors are lit for viewing rather than for a camera
- Best angle
- Best angle: The bronze walking Buddha in the main hall, side-on, which is the pose the style is famous for
Si Satchanalai
- Best time
- Best time: Early morning, when the forest is still misty and the elephant buttresses at Wat Chang Lom are side-lit â the site is wooded, so unlike Sukhothai it photographs well in the middle of the day too
- Best angle
- Best angle: Low at the base of Wat Chang Lom so the ring of elephants runs round the frame, and from the hill at Wat Khao Phanom Phloeng looking back over the site
