This is a tiny island in the Chao Phraya River, accessible
by boat from Wat Sanam Nua, not far from the Pak Kret District
Office. On it live a community of craftsmen famous for their
distinctive style of pottery which dates back many centuries.
Ko Kret pots are known for their fine, red-black glazed
surface and intricate design. The islanders are the descendants
of the Mon people, and they have managed to retain the skills
of their forefathers.
