Essential Tips

What to Pack

Lightweight moisture-wicking shirts - avoid cotton in 70% humidity, synthetic blends dry faster during brief showers

SPF 50+ broad-spectrum sunscreen - UV index reaches 8 with strong reflection from concrete this destination

Compact umbrella or light rain jacket - afternoon showers last 15-30 minutes but can be intense

Comfortable walking shoes with grip - marble floors in this destination become slippery when wet

Portable phone charger - long distances between attractions mean extended navigation use

Insect repellent with DEET - post-rain mosquito activity increases in park areas

Light cardigan for air conditioning - museums and this destination keep temperatures around 68°F (20°C)

Respectful temple clothing - long pants and covered shoulders required for pagoda visits

Electrolyte supplements or powder - easy dehydration in humid conditions with limited food options

Cash in small bills - many vendors and drivers cannot break large notes, ATMs are scarce outside hotel zones

Insider Knowledge

this destination close for lunch 12-1pm daily - plan museum visits during this dead time when other attractions remain open

Hotel breakfast is essential - restaurant options are extremely limited outside hotel zones, and most local places close by 2pm for afternoon rest

Hire drivers through hotel concierges rather than street negotiation - fixed rates prevent overcharging and ensure reliable return transport

Bring snacks and water - convenience stores are rare between major attractions, and distances of 8-15 km (5-9 miles) between sites mean long periods without services

Avoid These Mistakes

Underestimating travel times between attractions - budget 45-60 minutes driving time even for seemingly close destinations due to wide boulevards and traffic routing

Expecting walkable distances - the city was designed for vehicles, and walking between major sights in June humidity is impractical and unsafe

Not booking dinner reservations - most hotel restaurants require advance booking, and outside options are extremely limited especially during low season
