Respect temple dress code
Temples require covered shoulders and knees—carry a lightweight sarong or shawl to enter sanctuaries comfortably.
Bring cash for small vendors
Many pottery stalls and snacks accept only cash; small denominations make purchases and tips easier.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Flat, open lanes mean direct sun exposure—pack sunscreen, a hat and a refillable water bottle.
Basic bike comfort
Bicycles are upright cruisers; bring padded shorts or a gel seat if you’re sensitive to saddle discomfort.
Closed-toe walking shoes

Lightweight rain jacket
