Absolutely forcefully ignore anyone standing near the main temple gates who falsely claims the temple is closed for a special ceremony. They are simply fake illegal guides trying to secretly redirect you to highly expensive shops.

Random tuk tuk drivers might aggressively offer to take you to a completely free gem museum. Politely but incredibly firmly decline as these are massive highly orchestrated tourist traps with wildly inflated gemstone prices.
