"When you're traveling somewhere new, learn how the public transportation system works and how late it stays open.

The bottom line: Be very suspicious of very friendly people around the Grand Palace who tell you it's closed. Just say thank you and avoid getting involved in a conversation.""If you want a guided tour, arrange it ahead of time. A lot of popular sites are surrounded by unofficial tour guides. Even if they have a badge or an official-looking uniform, they may have no idea what they're talking about. I fell for this trap in Machu Picchu.
