Tips for tourists
- Temples: dress modestly (covered shoulders/knees) and remove shoes when required.
- Transport: BTS/MRT helps avoid traffic; use ride-hailing if you don’t want to negotiate.
- Taxis: ask for the meter; avoid “special price” offers.
- Heat: hydrate and plan outdoor visits early morning or late afternoon.
- Street food: choose busy stalls and freshly cooked food.
- Money: keep small cash for markets and quick buys.
