Don’t skip the museum inside the temple! It’s a hidden gem, and you'll get to see some really cool artifacts. I almost missed it, but I'm glad I didn't!

Make sure to wear something respectful, like long pants or a long skirt. I saw a few tourists being turned away for inappropriate dress. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

Bring small change for donations! I found myself scrambling for coins at the entrance, and it felt awkward. A few bucks can go a long way in supporting the temple.

I suggest going early in the morning around 8 AM to avoid the crowds and the heat. It’s way more peaceful then and you can appreciate the statues and architecture without too many distractions.
