Getting There
-
Tuk Tuk
From the Old City area, you can hire a tuk tuk to take you to Wat Intharawat (Wat Ton Kwen). Simply tell the driver 'Wat Ton Kwen' or show them the address: PWFG+45F บ้านต้นเกว๋น ซอย 3, Nong Kwai, Hang Dong District. The ride will take approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. Make sure to agree on a price before starting your trip.
-
Songthaew
You can catch a red songthaew (shared taxi) from the Old City. Head to a main road and flag down a songthaew, telling the driver you want to go to Hang Dong or Wat Ton Kwen. The fare is usually around 30-50 THB per person. Ask the driver to drop you off at the nearest point to the temple, and you might have to walk a short distance from the drop-off point.
-
Bicycle
If you prefer cycling, you can rent a bicycle from various shops around the Old City. Head south towards Hang Dong on the main road (Soi 121). After about 8 kilometers, you will reach a junction where you can turn onto Soi 3. Continue for a short distance until you see the temple on your left. Be cautious of traffic and ensure you have a map or GPS for navigation.
-
Walking
Walking to Wat Intharawat is not recommended due to the distance (approximately 8 km from the Old City) and the lack of sidewalks in some areas. However, if you feel adventurous, you can walk down the main road towards Hang Dong and turn onto Soi 3. This will take you directly to the temple, but be prepared for a long walk and ensure you have plenty of water.
