Tour Briefing :
Find yourself in a dreamland that takes you back 250 years to an ancient Mon community, full of unique customs and a traditional way of life. You cycle along the banks of the Chao Phraya River, passing fruit orchards, rice fields, temples, and local villages that allow you to grasp and feel the genuine Thai lifestyle.

Route Details :
Early morning leave Bangkok to Pak Kret District and then take a ferry across the Chao Phraya River to the farming community of Khlong Phra U-dom. Start the ride here and enjoy the beautiful scenery on car-free roads. You discover the villagers' daily routines in the rice fields and fruit orchards. As you continue on the Koh Kret, you can visit the Mon community that settled here in 1776, establishing their own way of life and their pottery handcraft industry. At the Mon Pottery Centre you are able to observe the Mon people's skill in throwing pots on the wheel. After this exhibition of their skills, take the opportunity to shop for fine pieces of pottery, such as plant pots, water containers, and decorative items as souvenirs. Also, try the food and Thai desserts at the stalls scattered near the walkway. On the trip, don't miss Wat Poramaiyikawat, an example of Mon architecture dating back 200 years to the early Ayutthaya period. This structure is the island's most significant temple and you will be stunned by the murals, fine stuccoworks, and the display of may ancient Mon artifacts. The Trip ends with lunch at a riverside restaurant and a relaxing rest overlooking the Chao Phraya River. There are plenty of local appetizing dishes waiting for you to taste before traveling back to Bangkok.
