Getting there

Songthaew

To reach Wat Khao Chedi, start by heading to the nearest main road where you can catch a Songthaew (shared taxi). Look for a Songthaew heading towards Taling Ngam. The fare should be around 30-50 THB. Once you're on the Songthaew, inform the driver that you're going to Wat Khao Chedi. Keep an eye on the surroundings as you approach Taling Ngam; the temple is located off the main road. The driver will drop you off at a nearby point, from which you may need to walk a short distance to the temple.

Motorbike Taxi

If you prefer a quicker option, consider taking a motorbike taxi. Head to a nearby area with motorbike taxis (often found near popular tourist spots or markets). Negotiate a fare with the driver, which should be around 100-150 THB. Ask them to take you to Wat Khao Chedi in Taling Ngam. The ride will be swift, and the driver will drop you off right at the entrance of the temple.

Walking

If you're staying in Taling Ngam, you can walk to Wat Khao Chedi. First, locate the main road (Route 4169) that runs through Taling Ngam. From there, look for signs directing you to the temple, which is a short distance away. Walk towards the west along the main road, and you should see the temple entrance on your left. It’s about a 15-20 minute walk depending on your starting point in Taling Ngam.
