(Narration Transcript)

Whats up guys, as stated, we are at Koh Kret a small island located just a little ways off the outskirts of Bangkok known for its chill vibes, their handmade clay pottery, and their amazing bike routes which I spent a whole day putting together in a music montage but lets knock out the logistics part of this vlog first so you can also come here and experience it for yourself.  

Now there are actually several ways you can get here but you’ll first need to head to a ferry point to take you into koh kret.  We took the ferry across the river from a a temple facing the island called Wat Sanam Nuea.  

I am sure I totally butchered the pronunciation but you should be able to google map it based on the spelling below and get lost after missing a turn that eventually had us detouring 3 kms before we could finally U turn.  No intersections, it’s a Bangkok thing you’ll understand when you get here.

If you’re new to Bangkok however, I recommend you take a cab and I can’t see the fare costing more than 10 dollars.  

As for the ferry, it was only 10 Baht each way, and once you’re on the Island I highly recommend you rent a bicycle to get around. This will cost you 50 baht which is about a $1.50 and you’ll need check in your passport but I was able to just check in my Thai Driver’s License.

So now that the logistics are out of the way, I present to you Koh Kret

So for some reason we initially couldn’t find any OTOP stores and only ran into this cool looking local candy shop where we bought an ice cream bar and this other pottery store with a NO OTOP sign on the door.  We suspect that many stores weren’t open because we came on a weekday.  

We eventually we hit a dead end and on the way back some lady told us the direction we were going was wrong and routed us away from the main road to her daughter’s store which was an OTOP store.  Felt a bit deceived but she led us to an OTOP store that we would never have found so I guess it worked out.

So guy this concludes our Koh Kret vlog.  As you saw, it isn’t a tropical island paradise and technically its located in Nontaburi which is on the outskirts of Bangkok.  However, when I went there, I only ran into about 3-4 other tourists so I highly recommend Koh Kret to anyone who wants insight into the real authentic local life here without having to travel too far away from Bangkok.

Thank you so much for checking out the vlog and a big thank you to all the new subscribers!  I really want to bring you guys more informative, interesting, and entertaining content so please feel free to comment below any suggestions about what you might want to see in our future vlogs.
