Shoulders and knees covered — long pants or skirt below knee. Closed-toe shoes safest; neat sandals sometimes pass. Sarongs for rent at gate if wrong outfit (100 baht). Arrive 8:30am opening — heat and Chinese tour groups brutal by 10am. Entry ~500 baht. Combine Wat Pho next door same dress rules. Boat from Saphan Taksin pier avoids taxi gridlock.

Wat Pho same rules next door — combine half day. Boat from Saphan Taksin avoids taxi traffic.

My shorts above knee got rejected — bought elephant pants outside for 100 baht.
