Local Tips

Grab is way cheaper than metered taxis for tourists — use it.

Street food is safe AND cheaper than restaurants. Look for busy stalls.

Always cover shoulders + knees at temples; remove shoes before entering.

Don't drink tap water. Bottled only.

Tuk-tuks are overpriced — negotiate hard or skip them entirely.
