Description
Begin your journey with a short scenic ferry ride across the Chao Phraya River to Ko Kret. Your first stop is Wat Paramai Yikawat, where you will witness the iconic Leaning Pagoda, an architectural marvel leaning over the riverbank. Explore the temple’s museum to admire the intricate Mon-style Buddha images and learn about the island’s rich heritage.
Stroll or bicycle down the peaceful, shaded pathways of the island's local market. Stop at a traditional pottery kiln and, under the guidance of a local master, sit at the pottery wheel to shape your own piece of Mon clay art.
For lunch, experience a culinary heritage found almost nowhere else. Delight in Khao Chae, a refreshing Mon delicacy of rice soaked in chilled, jasmine-scented water served with savory side dishes. Accompany this with crispy Tod Mun Nong Kala, a savory fish cake made with a local wild ginger root unique to the island.
Cleanse your palate with stunningly designed, delicately sweetened Thai desserts paired with traditional iced drinks. Conclude your island adventure with a modern twist. Visit Chit Beer, Thailand’s legendary pioneer of the local craft beer scene. Sit back on the wooden deck directly over the Chao Phraya River, enjoy the cool breeze, listen to acoustic tunes, and enjoy a curated tasting flight of fresh Weizen and IPA.
