Be aware of the strangers standing at the entrance of the temples at Bangkok cities. If they tell you that the temple is closed (at open hours) be sure it’s a fraud. Later they would call a tuk-tuk and take you to other temples to win your trust. And that’s when they tell you about the duty-free jewellery shop which has a good discount and even is cheap already, the gems are actually fake which you are going to buy.

Therefore, have a good research on the places where you are going along with its open and closed hours and stay safe and away from those people.
