==Buildings== [[Image:Phutthamonthon03.jpg|right|thumb|Phutthamonthon]] 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 (''[[tambon]]s''), which are further subdivided into 18 villages (''[[muban]]s''). Salaya has township (''[[thesaban tambon]]'') status and covers parts of ''tambon'' Salaya. Each of the tambon is administered by a tambon administrative organization (TAO). {| !
