How to Get There:

1) By Car. Travel to Pak Kred and take the ferry to cross the river to Koh Kred. Mostly people park the cars atSanam Nua temple and take the ferry.
At Koh Kred, there is tourist boat running around the island during the week-end.

2)The quickest way is to take the BTS Skytrain to Victory Monument and then No. 166 air-conditioned bus from the west side of the monument. The bus trip to Pak Kret takes around 20 mins via Expressway and costs only 19 Baht. The 505 bus, from Pratu Nam to Pak Kret, takes much longer as does the number 32 Bus from Wat Pho (more than 1 hour.)
3)The Chao Phraya express boat runs from Sathorn Pier to Pak Kret pier, but only between 06.15 and 08.05 in the morning, and 1605 and 18.05 in the afternoon. For the rest of the day it only goes as far as Nonthaburi pier; to continue to Pak Kret you need to take a bus (No 32) or long-tail boat (price negotiable).
  On Sundays the same company runs a "Koh Kret Cruise", from Sathorn pier, 10 am. This trip takes in several temples and Bahn Kanom Thai for lunch. Price is 300 Baht for adults, 250 Baht for children under 100cm.

4)The buses stop before the end of Chang Wattana Road, and before doing a U-turn by Pak Kret pier. On the left is a Tesco Lotus store on the corner of Suka Pracha San Road, which is the way to Wat Sanam Nuea and the pier for Koh Kret; usually there are several Sam Lors (bicycle taxis) waiting to take people to the Wat. Once you get to the Wat, go through the temple grounds to the ferry pier. You pay the fare of 2 baht on the island side.
5)  by van public in Bangkok through Pak-kred or Nonthaburi
