Ko Kred (Kred Island)











Ko Kred is a tiny island in Chao Phraya River. This community has existed since the late Ayuthaya period. There are many beautiful ancient temples around the island which were constructed during this period.

Cruise around the island to see the peaceful life of people along Chao Phraya River and stop for traditional Mon food at a river bank restaurant.

We can arrange any combination of the following tours by boat or road:


Wat Poramai Yikawas or Wat Mon


 
 

This temple, located on Kred Island is built in Mon style. King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V) visited this temple and renovated the ordination hall and built a pagoda also in Mon style.
 
 
 


Earthenware Village

Also on Kred live a community of craftsmen famous for their distinctive style of pottery which dates back many centuries. Ko Kred pots are known for their fine, red black glazed surface and intricate design. These people are the descendants of the Mon people, and they have managed to retain the skills of their forefathers.
 


Earthenware Products


 

Walk around the island  and you can still see villagers using their hand to make earthenware products for daily use such as garden pots and jars. The unique styles are retained from many years ago.
 
 


Joe Louis Theater
 


The Joe Louis Theater is the only one in Thailand that still performs a wonderful and unique kind of puppet play called "Hun Lakhon Lek".

The Joe Louis puppet play is performed in a special way in which three manipulators control one puppet in order to give very lively movements.

In this program, you will be able to witness the entire process of making Thai traditional masks before the performance.
