Shoulders and knees covered — long pants or skirt below knee. Closed-toe shoes safer; sandals sometimes OK if neat. They rent sarongs at gate if wrong outfit. Arrive 8:30am opening — heat and tour groups brutal by 10am.

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.
