"At the outskirts of Bangkok" Pak Kret by Wann

Pak Kret Travel Guide: 34 reviews and 98 photos

Pak Kret & Koh Kret

I used to live here few years at Pak Kret. This area is just half hour drive from central Bangkok through expressway.

Pak Kret is a district of Nonthaburi, a border province of Bangkok. There's a beautiful scene of The Chao Phraya River pass through central of the district, travelling across the river by boat over Pak Kret Pier is a daily activity of locals here.
.

Ko Kret Islet

My favorite area and also famous attraction of Pak Kret, is Ko Kret. It is a small islet just across The Chao Phraya River from Pak Kret.

When you get into Ko Kret, you can make a leisurely walk along the elevated walkway which rings the islet, wander through the villages to see lifestyle of locals.

There's also some ancient temples of the Ayutthaya period, beautiful in peaceful atmosphere.

Local food in Ko Kret

This was about the best part of any trip.

You will never miss to try tasty local food in Ko Kret, very unique and not often to be found anywhere else, also a chance to try many kind of thai sweet dessert.

From a number of food stalls by sidewalk to local restaurants most run by local. There's also some nice local restaurant with great view of the river.

Last visit to Pak Kret: Dec 2004

this temple is only one where keeps the Buddhist scripture in Mon language. I like to see that scripture because I am a Mon. Is there any chance for outsider like me to make a copy of that scripture for the use of our Mon?

Wow - I really which I had seen your page before we went to Ko Kret - we had such a bad boat experience to get there. It is a beautiful place.

Ko Kret is a lovely place, but when we were there in August the museum and many other interesting places were closed and we could not see a lot that you described on your page ... so we HAVE to go back next time ...

To eat at the Talat Nam and feed the fish sounds like a nice experience! I will take your advice on my next trip..take bus no 166 from Victory Monument to Pak Kret. Looks like an interesting destination!

An interesting page with lots of helpful information! The temples at Ko Kret look so beautiful - it's really great how they say prayers in the Mon language at that one temple!
