Travel
20 kilometres north of Bangkok along
the Chao Phraya River and you soon reach
the island of Koh Kret. In 1722, during the reign of King
Thaisa of Ayutthaya, the island was cut from an ox bow
in the river and was previously known as "Khlong Lat Kret
Noi" which means a shortcut to Kret canal. The island has
always been populated by the Mon, a people that dominated
the area that is now Thailand from the 6th to 10th centuries.
The Mon of Koh Kret are famous for their craftsmanship
and skill at the potters wheel and still make all kinds
of terracotta and earthenware products. The main village
is a thriving market place where you can see the pottery
making process and shop for pots, mortars, and flowerpots. |

What do we see? |
| |
Riding alongside the
Chao Phraya River, passing numerous small villages, we
see temples, fruit and flower plantations, local villages
and very friendly Thai people. We then head away from river
life and pass into the rural surroundings where we ride
among rice paddies and fruit plantations before finishing
the first part of our journey back on the banks of the
river at Ban Bua Thong. On Ko Kret, we see the pottery
village and visit the island's Ancient Mon Pottery Centre,
Wat Paramai Yikawat or Wat Mon, which contains a Mon styled
marble Buddha. |

|
| |
What is the riding like? |
| |
This is a very easy 25 kilometre
ride along nice flat roads and paths. The beautiful thing
about riding on Koh Kret is that there are no cars allowed
on the island so you have the road to yourselves. |
| |
|
| |
The ride ends at great riverside restaurant
where you can relax before crossing the river to Wat Klang
Kret and the short bus ride back to Bangkok. |
