Prafull's notes

  • At temples, cover shoulders and knees and remove shoes, hats and sunglasses; walk clockwise around stupas.
  • Never pose for a photo with your back to a Buddha statue, and ask before photographing people.
  • Alcohol is not sold anywhere on Poya (full-moon) days.
  • In Yala, stay in the jeep and don't ask the driver to chase animals.
