Koh Kret the man made island best of Amazing Thailand
Koh Kret (Thai: เกาะเกร็ด) is a small island in the Chao Phraya River in Nonthaburi province, Thailand. It is around 3 km (1.9 mi) long and 3 km (1.9 mi) wide with an area of over 4.2 square kilometers. It has seven main villages, the largest and most populous being Ban Mon. The island is best known for Thai-Mon people who make pottery for a living.
Koh Kret was originally a meander located on Chao Phraya River. Due to Chao Praya river's curvy path, ships often take longer time to reach Ayutthaya, Siam's capital at the time. During the reign of King Thaisa, His majesty wanted to reduce shipping time and improve the kingdom's economy. Thus, he planned a canal which would bypass the meander and act as a shortcut for maritime transport. According to the Ayutthaya chronicles, the canal was dug in 1722, requiring around 10,000 men and taking over a month to complete. After the canal was dug, shipping to Ayutthaya became faster and the canal was called "Klong Lat Kret" by locals. As time passes, the canal became gradually wider due to erosion and became part of the river itself, causing Koh Kret to become an island.
