Ko Kret

Ko Kret spans 4.2 square kilometers in the Chao Phraya River, containing seven distinct villages connected by elevated pathways and wooden houses on stilts.

In 1722, King Thaisa ordered 10,000 workers to dig a canal creating this island, which later became a settlement for Mon people fleeing from Myanmar.

The Mon community maintains traditional pottery workshops throughout the island, producing distinctive unglazed terracotta pieces with detailed patterns and designs.

Visitors reach Ko Kret by taking the Chao Phraya Express Boat to Pak Kret pier, followed by a short ferry ride to the island.

Six Buddhist temples occupy this small island, including Wat Paramai Yikawat with its characteristic white Mon-style leaning chedi at the rivers' junction.
