Canonical identity fields

These fields keep a temple or religious-site page from flattening legal identity, heritage status, and tourist route role into one vague attraction card.

Stable note
  • Important ruin near railway station; central to rail-stop heritage logic.
  • large prang/ruins
Watch
  • Heat and monkey/animal interaction/crowds should be caveated; hill route is physically demanding.
  • Treat review counts, festival dates, ceremonies and long-weekend crowding as live signals.
  • Temple etiquette: covered shoulders/knees, remove shoes where posted, avoid intrusive photography during worship, verify rules on active ceremony days.

  • TAT Lopburi (official city/province source)

Static versus live treatment

Temple pages can publish stable identity and route fit. They should not pretend that current hours, ticketing, or crowding are stable facts.

Static versus live treatment
RuleHow to handle it
Safe to keep staticidentity / route role / approximate area/base relationship / long-run etiquette caveats
Must stay liveopening hours / ticket price / ceremony access / review rating/count / crowd level / exact traffic / daily weather/AQI
Review policylive-review candidate; do not store static rating/count
UncertaintyFirst-pass temple intelligence layer; validate exact address/coordinates/hours before publishing high-confidence widgets.

These are the actual source roles behind the page. If they disagree, the contradiction should stay visible instead of being flattened away.

Static-policy excerpt

# enjoythai.land Temple / Religious-site Static Policy Access date for source pass: 2026-05-15 ## Scope This package covers **temple and religious-heritage sites that are materially useful for traveler decisions** across the 31 requested city/town nodes. It is not a claim to enumerate every legally registered wat, shrine, mosque, church, meditation center, or monastery in each province. Thailand has too many local temples for that to be useful in a static destination layer. ## Static-safe fields
