My very first trip to Bangkok. My lovely friend Aom has recommended me Eng:Koh Kret
thai：เกาะเกร็ด.
I accepted the suggestion to visit this lovely small village. Outcome was great. This is small island surrounding by Chao Phraya River.
It is best to visit this island on weekend , as they have weekend markets which attract quite a numbers of local crowd.
Let's the Picture tell you the story of the day ^_^
 |
| Morning take the BTS train to Victory monument, what a quiet Sunday Morning ^_^ |
 |
when you reach victory monument, walk towards 12 o clock, and go down at the stair case at about 12 o'clock, Bus 166 will be waiting at there
 |
I am freaking lucky, the bus was just there waiting, Note: the red plat in front means this is the bus going to Koh Kret เกาะเกร็ด. Show the bus conductor, it is 18TB.

This was the entrance of the road, I managed to take this pic after i left, it was raining heavily! =.=
This is the entrance at Soi Chaeng Watthana-Pak Kret 4 |

The entrance road , there is a KFC. After the bus stop
at the location Soi Chaeng Watthana-Pak Kret 4, walk straight in
