Tips

Respect the strict dress code: cover shoulders and knees at both temples (wrap-around robes are often available at Wat Pho).
Bring small change for the river ferry; it runs often but is usually not included in tour prices.
At Wat Arun, wear sturdy shoes for climbing the steep steps of the main spire; they can be slippery.
Be prepared to remove your shoes at temple entrances and to lower your voice inside any shrines.
Carry insect repellent or wear long sleeves if you plan to sit and relax on Wat Pho’s lawns for a moment.
