What to expect

Your guide collects you from the hotel and drives you between temples in an air-conditioned vehicle. Expect walking up stairs inside temples, standing for periods whilst listening to explanations of Buddha statues and intricate tile work. The tuk-tuk journey is bumpy and noisy—part of the experience. The long-tail boat trip takes you into quieter, older parts of the city where you'll see shophouses and local markets from the water. You'll stop for lunch (your cost) at a simple restaurant or market stall. Temple visits require respectful dress (covered shoulders and knees). Bring cash for temple entries and meals.
