🏝 Koh Kret, Nonthaburi, less than 10 minutes by boat🍂

Getting to Koh Kret is easier than you might think. From Bangkok, take the MRT Purple Line to Yaek Nonthaburi 1 or Bang Kraso Station. From there, take a songthaew or taxi to Wat Sanam Nuea. From there, it's just a 2-3 minute ferry ride to Koh Kret! The ferry fare is just ten baht, and you'll be greeted by a cool breeze even before you even get on the island.
