Footage shows tourists wearing hired traditional costumes at the Wat Arun Buddhist temple in Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday July 1.

The silk costumes - once worn by Siamese natives from the 14th to the 18th centuries - can be hired from stalls surrounding the religious monument in the heart of the Thai capital along the Chao Phraya River.
