Koh Kred Island 2008

Last year I went to Bangkok, Thailand with my friends and ex-lecturer-now-colleague for five days, visiting University of Silpakorn, University of Chulalongkorn, and other places of interests in Bkk. Koh Kred is one of them.



Situated in Nonthaburi Province, 20 km north of Bangkok, in the Chao Phraya River.


Koh Kred is famous for it's distinctive baked unglazed red clay carved with intricate patterns, which is known as Mon pottery.
