The most important building in the district is the Phutthamonthon park, a 40 hectare Buddhist park. The district was named after the park. Its name means "Mandala of the Buddha".
One of the three campuses of Mahidol University is also in Salaya.
Administration
The district is divided into three subdistricts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 18 villages (mubans). Salaya has township (thesaban tambon) status and covers parts of tambon Salaya. Each of the tambon is administered by a tambon administrative organization (TAO). ::data[format=table]
