The Artisan Island

Koh Kret is a man-made island located in the Chao Phraya River, just a short boat ride away from Bangkok. The Mon tribe, who migrated from Myanmar centuries ago, settled in this area and began crafting pottery. The island is known for its rich pottery heritage and traditional Mon-style architecture. The narrow streets are lined with local shops selling handmade ceramics, and visitors can witness the pottery-making process firsthand. The island's serene environment, away from the bustling city, also offers visitors a chance to relax and explore the charming local community.
