Getting There

Walking

From the center of Tha Maka, head southeast on the main road (Route 323) towards the direction of Kanchanaburi City. After approximately 1.5 kilometers, you'll reach an intersection.

The tree is located within a small park area, and you can easily recognize it by its massive canopy.

After about 1.5 kilometers, turn right onto the road leading to Ko Samrong. Continue cycling for about 2 kilometers until you spot the Giant Raintree on your left. The ride should take approximately 20-30 minutes depending on your pace. Ensure you are cautious of traffic along the main roads.
Tuk-Tuk

For a more comfortable option, you can hire a tuk-tuk from Tha Maka to the Giant Raintree. Negotiate a fare with the driver before starting your journey; expect to pay around 100-150 Thai Baht for a one-way trip.
