Tourist Police Tackle Problematic Photographer Behaviour at Wat Arun

Thai authorities are moving to regulate local photographers at Bangkok’s Wat Arun after complaints about disruptive behaviour targeting tourists. A viral social media post recounted how a photographer repeatedly pushed other visitors out of shots to favour paying clients. Others echoed similar experiences, describing loud and aggressive attempts to secure business. In response, Tourist Police urged photographers to operate respectfully and without hindering other visitors’ enjoyment of the temple grounds. The action aims to protect the reputation of the landmark and ensure a pleasant experience for international and domestic tourists alike.
