Enjoy a day trip to the beautiful Koh Kret Island. This relaxing day tour will teach you some history as well as give you insight into the local way of life. Explore the Island and see the temples here. Also enjoy a longtail boat trip along the Chao Phraya River.Your day will begin with a pickup from your Bangkok hotel. From here, you will be taken to the pier where you will board a ferry and cross the river.
Change to a longtail boat and ride up the Chao Phraya River to Koh Kret Island. Chao Phraya River is the lifeblood of Bangkok, and not just because of this rich history. Around 50,000 people still use its ferries each day. Slow barges bearing cargo coast upstream. Kids still frolic in the russet-brown water. Wooden shacks, mottled by the elements, still lurch over the water. Soaring hotels and condominiums hem in solemn temples, churches and civic buildings that look 19th century European, while yards away the odd wooden sampan sells noodle soup or dried squid to hungry river workers. It is this juxtaposition of calm and chaotic, modern and traditional, religious and secular, foreign and indigenous that makes the Chao Phraya so evocative.
Upon reaching Koh Kret Island, you will enjoy some time to walk around and look at local shops and food. Enjoy lunch here before proceeding on a sightseeing tour that will showcase the temples and living conditions of the Island.
Return to your Bangkok hotel at the end of the tour.
