I went to Koh Kret, Nonthaburi (Kret Island) on last weekend. I not only found the craft pottery but also visited the antique temples and had various delicious foods. I had a fun, gained the knowledge and enjoyed eating in one trip.
On the above photo, The short bell-shaped chedi as Mu Tao relics design built by Mon people in the Ayutthaya period more than 200 years ago. This Mu Tao chedi can be considered as the symbol of Kho Kret.
