Bangkok: enjoy it while remaining vigilant

Once on site, remain vigilant about the quality of the drinking water and avoid consuming ice cubes. Before visiting sacred places such as temples, make sure your shoulders and legs are covered. Decent clothing is required to enter all sacred places. In the city, be especially vigilant about fixed price taxi scams and free tuk-tuks.
