Oct 24, 2018As like many other religious sites in Southeast Asia, you have to take off your shoes before entering the grounds. Additionally for the pagodas in Yangon, you also have to take off your socks. Wear sandals when visiting the pagodas for maximum convenience.

Oct 1, 2018Make sure you have a wet wiper to wipe clean your feet because they don't provide any shoes cover but request you to take off your shoes and socks. Do not go there during the middle of the day. The sunshine will make the stone slates very hot for your bare feet.
