NO SLUTS ALLOWED.

Okay, actually, it's more like if you wear hot pants or tank tops in Thailand's temples, you'll likely be asked to cover up. Temples have shawls you can rent and return, but it's a good idea to bring one yourself so you don't get denied entrance. It really depends on the temple and the mood of the people in charge that day; but as a good rule of thumb, modest shirts are always expected, sandals tolerated, and shorts a 50/50 gamble.

Also, if you see others taking off their shoes to enter a building, follow suit and be sure not to point your feet at any Buddha images. These temples aren't just ancient structures, they're still places of worship used by the locals every day so show some respect. Speaking of Buddha images, Thailand is pretty strict about what you can take out of the country, so check up on the rules before you drop a lot of cash on a painting or statue.
