Koh Kret, a tourist attraction near Bangkok

A popular tourist attraction near Bangkok that you can’t miss is Koh Kret. It is an island in the lower Chao Phraya River and is a sub-district in Pak Kret District, Nonthaburi Province. The island covers an area of ​​approximately 4.2 square kilometers or about 2,625 rai. Most of the villagers are Thai-Mon people who make pottery. Koh Kret was created by digging a canal to shortcut the Chao Phraya River in the past, called Khlong Lat Kret Noi or Khlong Tret Noi. Later, the current changed direction, eroding the banks, causing this canal to expand into the Lat Kret River. The land at the center of the river became a shield in the middle of the river. Since it is a large island with a wide area, we can ride bicycles to see the way of life of the community, worship Buddha, and eat local food of the people of Koh Kret. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. #Places to visit near Bangkok
