What to Wear to Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Pho

What to know before visiting temples in Bangkok: what you can wear and how to prepare for a comfortable visit.
Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Pho and Wat Arun are sacred places, so modest dress really matters, and it also saves you time at the entrance.
What You Can Wear in a Temple
- A top with sleeves that covers your shoulders
- Long trousers or a long skirt that covers your knees
- Avoid tight or see-through clothes
Prepare for a Comfortable Visit
- Wear shoes that are easy to remove, because you must take them off before entering a temple hall
- Bring drinking water and a hat, as Bangkok is hot almost all year
- Go in the morning, when there are fewer people and it is not as hot
