Ko Kret 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. Ko Kret has prospered since the Ayutthaya period as is evident from the man temples on the island that are from that period. When Ayutthaya was reclaimed, King Taksin the Great relocated the Mon people here. The Mon people on the island came during the Thon Bun period and during reign of King Rama II. On it live a community of craftsmen famous for their distinctive style of pottery which dates back many centuries. The islanders are the descendants of the Mon people, and they have managed to retain’1 the skills of their forefathers.
