Dress for temples
Wear clothes that cover shoulders and knees—lightweight long sleeves and a sarong or scarf work well for entry to Wat Pho and Wat Arun.

Carry small change
Have small notes and coins for market purchases, boat tips, and shrine offerings—vendors rarely give change for large bills.

Start early to avoid midday heat and heavier traffic; afternoon storms are common in the rainy season.
