In temples, the shoulders are closed for women (that is, the arms and chest are not bare, you can just put on an opaque pareo, shirt, etc.), not mini-skirts, dresses, sundresses are longer, you can have trousers, if only your knees do not sparkle . Take off your shoes at the entrance to the temple. It seems everything.

They didn’t let me into the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Bangkok) even in breeches below the knee - only long ones, to the toes! Fortunately, there are rented out on bail and shirts, and long skirts (tight and hot, damn it!) like these:

In the rest of the temples - yes, the main thing is to cover the chest and shoulders and not short skirts, shorts. Please take off your shoes and hats.

And I went into this temple as I was - in jeans and a short-sleeved T-shirt (the main thing was that my shoulders were covered). Apparently the length of the bridge played a role for you, my jeans did not bother them.
You can’t just run into our Orthodox churches from the street in anything, although we go, of course, in trousers, we wrap a scarf around our heads, but it’s supposed to be only in long skirts and with a covered head.

I sewed and always carry a set with me: a short blouse with 3/4 sleeves and a long skirt with ties. All this from a thin fabric such as chiffon. Rolls up and takes up space with a fist. Neither weighs anything. Always lies in the bag and at the right time is at hand.

Although the resorts of the Thai islands are dominated by Western costume standards, in general, this is a traditional country, where it is not appropriate for decent people to dress sloppily, in very revealing clothes. Outside the beach, it is better to wear a shirt (it is believed that if you choose a shirt with a collar, and not a T-shirt, you will achieve more respect). And do not forget that the color of clothes here sometimes means belonging to warring political factions. So, if you do not want to be in the center of their strife, do not wear red and yellow.

Well, what happens, I really love sundresses and dresses, I love them so much that I don’t have any other clothes in principle ..... I’m going to Thailand to relax, swim, sunbathe, but it turns out that you need to go almost everywhere in a duvet cover, it’s understandable temples , but "OUT" of the beach, it's what happens everywhere .... now I'm afraid to buy some kind of wild pants to the floor or capes ..... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhha h
of course, I don’t have sundresses at all, but all the same, summer translucent as well as dresses, tell me what they will arrest for this or how .........
аватар butterflytattoo

Go on vacation in whatever you want, not "nude", of course, but - that's why it's a vacation, and in resort places - like in ordinary resorts. Maybe in other areas of Thailand it is worth walking not in a swimsuit, but in a resort - like ... in a resort.

Thank you reassured at least, otherwise I was already worried.

What sundresses? What dresses and swimwear?
GUARD!!!!
Though I'm going to Tai, but I want to remain a man !!!!
аватар allenyshka
??? hahaha, yeah, what a flight! there is already a women's club formed ...))
A man in Tae is good! Stay healthy, it’s just that somehow the topic doesn’t particularly concern men anywhere - in almost any country, they have such a choice as we have, when there is simply no “full closet and nothing to wear”. So we decided by default that the question is from the beautiful half. Sorry!
Men, on the other hand, go as they like, only they have to go barefoot to temples and that's it.

It doesn’t really matter. You should only enter the synagogue with your head covered. And the same goes to the Wailing Wall, there I had an unpleasant incident, out of ignorance. Shorts are not allowed in the mosque. Yes, in the Orthodox monastery of St. Catherine in Taba, they were forced to wear paper pants over shorts!
So don't say...
аватар allenyshka
But you are an adequate adult, not a teenager, to come up with shorts to show up at the temple. As far as my husband cannot imagine life without shorts, how much I sit here and remember visits to our and not our charitable places, he himself, knowing that we were going there, dressed in light trousers and "Hawaiian" shirts. I mean "as they want" - in normal ordinary clothes, women have more options to goof off, and therefore they unanimously decided here that the questioner is a woman ...
аватар kaide007
Thank you allenyshka !!!!))))
Definitely adequate...
аватар butterflytattoo
tell me, is it possible to buy something monastic there, well, I mean long, everything is closed, for all kinds of temples and mosques ...... well, I lost my feet already in a panic, look here with us and choose something ..... I have a friend who is a doctor, I'm already thinking of taking bathrobes with me chtoli ...... a joke of course ...
tell me, maybe there, like in our clinics, shoe covers for 5 rubles. , there are hoodies butt ten each ????????????

There are skirts for rent, they also sell bamboo umbrellas made of papyrus paper, cute, but fragile - almost disposable, the sun is scorching - you walk between buildings for several hours under the open sky. So, umbrellas, upon exiting the bus in Bangkok, start selling for 200 baht and more, when you wave it off (the law of the market) - prices "fall". And they run after you for a long, long time in a crowd.
But I, for example, have my own "umbrella" - a hat with very wide brim, it is soft, it is convenient to stuff it into a bag if you don't need it. Not only I like this hat - once in Tae a monkey encroached on it, it is bright, the ribbons are still hanging, I walked without thinking and waved my hat in my hands ... So the monkey grab-grab it with its paw and let's drive me into a corner, while other monkeys surrounded... I'm afraid of them, they bite. But everything worked out :-)!
butterflytattoo, don’t worry like that, take a long sundress or a dress from home (it will come in handy along the way), put a pareo or a windbreaker on top of your shoulders - and you don’t need to bring anything extra, especially robes! Or wear a t-shirt with trousers or jeans. Refreshed my memory from the photo - I also went in a skirt - light jeans, the length immediately after the knees, the top and the cotton windbreaker on top was light (for the shoulders) - no problem!

thank you very much ........... I don’t worry much to be honest, in general I just can’t wait when the tour is already that one ......
sometimes you just read the reviews and you start to worry, willy-nilly, and suddenly everything is really so serious and problematic there, but no it turns out ....
alenushka thank you very much as well as everyone else for the informative feedback .... smack
