Ko Kret
Ko Kret or Kret island in the Chao Phraya River
was created from the digging of a canal around a cape of the Chao
Phraya River. In 1722, during the reign of King Thaisa of Ayutthaya,
the island was called “Khlong Lat Kret Noi” which means a shortcut
to Kret canal. Later, the current diverted, making the canal larger
and turning the cape there into an island.
