👍 "Temple is closed" is a SCAM! "Helpful" people around the temple will say the temple is closed or will open later are scams. Just smile, nod and keep walking. They work in groups and others including tuk tuk drivers may agree that it is closed. If they are not in uniform, don't believe anyone. Only...
