Dress Code
Posted: Sun January 29, 2012 05:44 AM UTC
I will be in Melaka April 6-7. May I know the customs/laws pertaining to dress code for tourists visiting churches and/or temples? Are sleeveless blouses/tees and knee-length skirts/shorts forbidden? Advance thanks :)

Sleevless tees and blouses, and mid length shorts/skirts are certainly not FORBIDDEN, but not really appropriate. For temples, and in fact churches, keep your shoulders covered (use a shawl or scarf) and in some temples- head must be covered too.
The shorts are not acceptable. Knees should be covered in places of worship.

Agree with Lynne, we visited Nov'11 and our group guide informed the ladies the night before to cover up, as Lynne described.

A nice town to visit, plenty of history still left to see.

You can also bring a scarf or salong with you to cover up.
