Expert staff will assist with fitting and provide professional makeup and hairstyling to ensure you look your best. Travel to Wat Arun: A private car will transport you to Wat Arun, allowing you to relax and prepare mentally for the photoshoot.

Photographer Conduct & Editing Policy
Our partnered photographers from Sense of Thai are highly experienced in traditional Thai attire photography. They have been specially trained to assist with costume adjustments on-site, including refining folds, correcting fabric drapes, and guiding clients into the most flattering poses. Please note: to maintain a respectful environment, our photographers are strictly prohibited from making physical contact with female guests. Any costume adjustments for female clients must be done by the guest herself.
During the shoot, our photographer will help identify the most picturesque angles and backgrounds to highlight each guest’s beauty and elegance in every frame.
In terms of editing, all images will be professionally tone- and color-adjusted. We will also remove visible distractions—such as unrelated people or objects in the background—whenever possible. Minor facial blemishes, acne marks, or wrinkles may be softened upon review. However, body modifications (such as reshaping or slimming) will not be performed. We believe in enhancing natural beauty while preserving authenticity.
Please Note:
- Editing includes only basic tone and color correction.
- Makeup, hairstyling, entrance tickets, and private transport are not included in the photo session fee but can be arranged.

Questions about Private Photoshoot with Thai Traditional Dress at Wat Arun (5)
Q
What should female guests prepare for the photoshoot? Susan - 129 Days ago
A
For the best appearance and comfort during your Thai traditional dress photoshoot, we recommend wearing a strapless bra to ensure a clean neckline, especially for off-shoulder or traditional-style tops. This helps the costume fit beautifully without visible straps. As for footwear, please note that shoe rental is not provided.
We suggest bringing your own low or mid-heel shoes (1–2 inches) in a neutral tone — gold, nude, or cream colors pair well with most Thai costumes. Avoid sneakers or large platform shoes, as they may clash with the elegant look of the outfit. If the photoshoot will involve walking around temple grounds, please also consider comfort and ease of movement. Wittaya L - answered within 10 minute [TicketID # 6984]
