This was a wonderful 1 hour canal (klong ; in Thai) tour ! After we had parked our car at Klong Kone temple, we bought this tour from "Uncle Lek" (700 baht) at a booth on the small harbour near the temple. We also spent an extra 300 baht buying a lot of bananas and sliced fresh corn to feed monkeys. It should be noted that the place was very quiet at the time we visited (due to Covid pandemic). Then, we were on a long-tail boat sailing along Klong Kone canal past the village to the mangrove forest. At the edge of the land where the canal flows into Gulf of Thailand, the driver cruised along the narrow passage inside a mangrove swamp. Here, we saw troops of macaques swam toward us (and tried to climb aboard, but the driver didn't allow them to do so) begging for food, so we started feeding them from the boat. What a very fun experience! After we had run out of food, we planted mangrove saplings on the muddy shore among the eyes of hundreds macaques and sailed back directly to the harbour. We didn't forget to visit and donate some money to the temple before we left. Highly recommend.

This is a must do! We headed here as part of a day excursion out of Bangkok. It is close to 90 minutes from the city. We arrived and changed into swimsuits and then headed out on a long tail boat. We boated up the river into the mangroves where we were greeted by a few monkeys. Our guide had purchased some bananas prior and as soon as we pulled them out a few monkeys turned into a hundred of them. It was very exciting! After we fed them, our guide pulled the boat onshore where we planted some baby mangrove plants. Then we headed out to try mud skiing -the was fantastic! We returned and ate lunch at the local restaurant. Scenery was great, food was terrific, and overall day was amazing.
