This island is inhabited by people who make a living from baked goods and pottery, and OTOP Market, located on the street that stretches from the pier to the island, has everything from traditional baked goods to modern cafes and sweets shops that look great on social media, and the unique tiles used on temple roofs are sold at shops selling traditional pottery, making it a fun area for window shopping. There are many shops and restaurants along the river, but if you go to the middle of the island, you will find a lotus pond and many wild banana trees, making it a spot where you can feel nature. If you want to see the sunset, start from mid-afternoon. If you want to avoid the heat, start early and go for a quick half-day trip. This is a recommended spot on the outskirts of Bangkok. #ThailandTrip #KohKret
