You will be in a lot of temples and crowded markets. A wide lens like the Viltrox 13/1.4 is helpful. 1.4 also helps, because of the heat many markets are night markets and it's also often dark within these temples. The tiny 27/2.8 is also something to consider because of it's size.
A lot boils down to your personal preferences. Do you prefer a wider view or do you like to isolate things with a longer focal length. But you have your zoom lens for this anyway. I personally would go with the 13/1.4 Viltrox or a 23/1.4 or the tiny 27/2.8 (your camera is stabilized anyway).

Have fun.
