The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is in the Grand Palace complex in the Banglamphu area of Bangkok, also known as the Old City. All visitors must adhere to a strict dress code upon entering the complex. Arms, lower legs and toes should be covered, as inappropriately dressed visitors will be ushered into a building near the front gate to rent suitable clothing. As with most temples, shoes must be removed and pilgrims offering prayers should avoid proffering the soles of their feet in the direction of holy imagery while sitting.
