Arrive at first light

Respect temple rules
Bring modest underlayers and be ready to remove shoes in sacred zones; photographers will steer you away from restricted murals and ritual spaces.
Carry small local cash
Costume rentals, hair styling, and nearby fees are often cash-friendly — bring small THB bills for quicker transactions.
Watch footing and props
Stairs and ledges at Wat Arun are steep; secure long garments and avoid long tripods in congested areas to prevent damage.
