Always check both options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Can I visit temples during Buddhist holidays?&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, but expect closures for certain shrines. Major temples like Wat Pho remain open with special ceremonies you can observe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Are Bangkok\u2019s street food stalls hygienic?&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for stalls with: (1) High turnover (2) Cooked-to-order items (3) Vendors wearing gloves. These are usually safest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Do I need to carry cash for markets\/small shops?&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely. 70% of local vendors (especially Chatuchak and Chinatown) still only accept cash. ATMs charge 220 THB per withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"author-section-wrapper\">\n    <div class=\"custom-author-section\">\n        <div class=\"custom-author-info\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/de.linkedin.com\/in\/riteshji\" class=\"custom-link\">\n  <h2 class=\"custom-author-name\">Ritesh Raj<\/h2>\n<\/a>\n            <p class=\"custom-author-title\">COO at CuddlyNest<\/p>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cuddlynest.com\/blog\/editorial-policy\/\" class=\"custom-editorial-policy-link\">Editorial Policy<\/a>\n            <p class=\"custom-last-updated\">Last update: 04 Apr 2025<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n@import url('https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Poppins:wght@400;700&display=swap');\n\n*, *::before, *::after {\n    box-sizing: border-box;\n}\n\nbody .author-section-wrapper .custom-author-section {\n    display: flex;\n    flex-wrap: wrap;
