Ko Kret

Ko Kret (Thai: เกาะเกร็ด, pronounced [kɔ̀ʔ krèt]) is a small island in the Chao Phraya River in Nonthaburi province, Thailand.

As time passes, the canal became gradually wider due to erosion and became part of the river itself, causing Ko Kret to become an island.

After Siam gained independence, King Taksin allowed Mon people to settle down on Ko Kret.

[1][2] During the Second World War, Ko Kret was used as a hiding place for many politicians and officers to avoid the bombing of Bangkok.

The most notable thing of this temple is a leaning white Mon style chedi at the corner of the island where the Chao Phraya river and Lat-Kret with Om-Kret meet.

Visitors will experience the way of life of locals and learn about pottery making which is their main occupation, or renting a bicycle to ride around the island without any time limit.
