Description:

Spend an exciting day exploring Koh Kret Island by bicycle. Pedal past communities, fruit plantations, and rice fields along the river bank, and pay a visit to ornate temples, pottery artisans, and a ceramic market, all on this leisurely full-day tour.

Get a taste of old Siam when you head just up the Chao Phraya River from Bangkok to Koh Kret Island, an area famous for its unique pottery and earthenware. This easy ride covers roughly 12.5 miles (20 km) on flat roads and paved paths. On your way out of Bangkok, pass local villages, fruit and flower plantations, and expansive rice-paddy fields.

Upon your arrival at Koh Kret, where no cars are allowed, explore a Mon-styled temple and witness a stunning marble Buddha. Continue on to the pottery center to see a diverse array of terracotta and earthenware products, which the Mon people have been producing since their period of dominance hundreds of years ago.

Before your comfortable bus ride back to Bangkok, take some time to take a break at a riverside restaurant, enjoying a snack or a beverage and relishing your day of explorey.
