Tour overview
“Wat Khun Chan & Ko Kret Tour” is a relaxed half‑day excursion that starts in Bangkok and takes you first along the canals to the photogenic Wat Khun Chan temple area, then further up the Chao Phraya River to the small island of Ko Kret. You discover a different, village‑like side of Bangkok with Mon temples, pottery workshops and local snacks before returning to the city in the late afternoon or early evening.
