Take the big ferry to ratchawongse 15baht and then the cross river ferry to Ding Daeng 6baht. Walk through ferry terminal to street and catch Aircon bus 20 . There are non aircon but you would regret it. Air bus is 25baht will take you to the chedi, end of the line. There are a couple of cheap eats when you get off the bus. Chedi is ok but walk over the high bridge and along the boardwalk to the fort . After your visit... Opposite the boardwalk you will see a ferry ,to get to it go back over the bridge walk up the street and on the left you will see a market. Walk through the market to the ferry 6baht ferry ride to Pak nam market across the river. We came back the same way but you could go back from there. You work it out. All day trip. The fort is under renovation but is still open. Nobody bothers you and you can climb and crawl all over it. Some big guns. Brilliant. Makes a change from stay out,don't touch,not allowed.

We have just returned from a visit to Chulachomklao fort after first reading about it on Richard Barrow's website. Our accommodation is on the Khlong San side of Taksin bridge and we arranged a 'grab hire' where we had the use of car and driver within greater Bangkok for 4 hours at a cost of 1200 Baht. It took 45 mins to get there and 1hr 15 mins to get back so we had two hours at the fort. An hour of this was spent exploring the Mae Khlong ship - access all areas and it was fascinating, then there are the gun placements, Rama V statue, military hardware exhibition and Mangrove walkway compete with monkeys, which we skilfully avoided. On top of all this you can see out to the Gulf of Thailand and watch shipping entering the Chao Phraya river. There was a large seafront restaurant which was reasonably busy considering it was a weekday, we only had time to buy drinks and ice creams though. You may disagree, but this is my idea of a great day trip from Bangkok and the Grab option just gave us peace of mind that our transport was sorted so we didn't have to worry how we were going to get back to the city. Entrance to the fort with all its attractions is free. We took passports with us as entry is through a checkpoint but we were not asked for them, perhaps as we arrived with a Thai national who was driving the car. I did spot one other western visitor who was wearing some kind of pass so perhaps if you arrive by tuk tuk or taxi, you may need to provide ID. Overall, well worth a visit and thanks to Richard Barrow for the recommendation.
