Ko Kret: escape to the pottery island just a stone's throw from Bangkok
Ko Kret is a small island located in the middle of the Chao Phraya River, about twenty kilometers north of central Bangkok (in the neighboring province of Nonthaburi). Known for its pottery and its countryside atmosphere, it is a favorite place for Bangkokians to take a green getaway, especially on weekends, when the markets are in full swing and liven up the villages on the island.
