About this experience

Escape the hustle of Bangkok and discover a world frozen in time on a unique cultural journey to Ko Kret, a peaceful island in the Chao Phraya River. This isn't just a tour - it's an immersion into the serene rhythms of traditional Mon culture, ancient crafts, and car-free streets best explored on two wheels.

Tour Highlights:


  • Cycle a Car-Free Island: Hop on a bicycle and glide through narrow, tranquil lanes where the only traffic is the occasional motorbike. Experience the freedom of exploring an island untouched by cars and buses, passing by traditional stilt houses and lush greenery.

  • Ancient Pottery Craftsmanship: Get your hands dirty at a local pottery workshop! Ko Kret is famous for its distinctive terracotta ware, and you'll have the chance to meet artisans and try your hand at creating your own unique piece.

  • Discover Sacred History: Behold the magnificent 200-year-old Mon Leaning Pagoda, a unique architectural marvel and symbol of the island's rich heritage. Visit the revered Big Buddha Temple and feel the profound sense of peace that permeates this spiritual haven.

  • Savor Authentic Riverside Flavors: Enjoy a delicious lunch at a traditional Thai restaurant overlooking the river. Taste authentic local dishes while soaking in the picturesque views of water and the slow-paced life of the village.

  • Coffee Roasting & Brewing Class: Pause for a refreshing cup of Thai coffee at a charming local spot, a perfect moment to reflect on the beauty you've witnessed and connect with fellow travelers.
