【Tips to Avoid Scams】
Always bargain hard with tuk-tuk drivers! Initial prices are often inflated.
It’s hot outside, but indoor AC is strong—bring a light jacket to avoid catching a cold.
The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew get crowded—go early to beat the crowds.
Temples require long pants/skirts and covered shoulders—no exceptions!
Floating markets are far from the city—book a day tour that includes Maeklong Railway Market for convenience.
Bolt is much cheaper than Grab for rides!
Carry small change—some vendors only accept cash!
