Koh Kret Island - Best Day Trip in Bangkok - Thailand 2023
Koh Kret เกาะเกร็ด is a small island in the Chao Phraya River in Nonthaburi Province, Thailand. It is around 3 km long and 3 km 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. The island is only accessed by ferries.
Koh Kret was originally a meander located on the Chao Praya river. Due to Chao Praya river's curvy path, ships would take longer to reach Ayutthaya, Siam's capital at the time. During the reign of King Thaisa, the king wanted to reduce shipping time and improve the kingdom's economy. He planned a canal which would bypass the meander and act as a shortcut for maritime transport. 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 passed, the canal became gradually wider due to erosion and became part of the river itself, causing Koh Kret to become an island.
Today Koh Kret is promoted as a cultural tourism destination in Nonthaburi, a suburb of Bangkok. Visitors can experience the way of life of locals and learn about pottery making. You can also rent a bicycle to ride around the island. The food is a mix of thai food and Mon and is the biggest draw for Thais and visitors. Mon food such as khao chae, fried flower and thot man no kala, a variation of Thai fish cake. It is a local food that is not found in other parts of Thailand.
I show you what the island is like now and what to expect if you visit the island. It really is a great side trip for anyone that comes to the city. It’s family friendly and great for all ages.
