Yes, that's about it. I really don't see the royal barges as a priority but no harm in checking them out if you are interested. I would do Wat Arun on a separate trip so you can take your time meandering around. If you do the Grand Palace/Wat Po, Wat Arun is just a short ferry ride across the river from the same pier as the river taxi.

Got it. Since we might visit Wat Arun when we tour with Tong's guide, we may not get off the boat during the klong tour, but my husband might be interested in seeing the royal barges.
Thanks again to everyone for their feedback! As always it has been very helpful.

itsmesophia-The simple answer is no. Plus, if you buy a bunch of stuff, you'll want to return to base before setting out on a klong tour. The best thing is to do the market in the morning (it's hot and morning is best). Return to the hotel. Go on a Klong tour from one of the piers (Tha) in the afternoon. It's actually cool on the water.
