Jan 7 - Ko Kret - I found a little island with no cars in my guide book. It looked like a nice break from the city so I took a local bus for 5 baht to Pak Kret and a 5 minute ferry to the island. Ko Kret is known for its Mon people who in turn are know for their pottery. The island had cement walk ways that encircled the perimeter of the island. Lots of cool Wat's. Let in the afternoon for Bangkok. Decided to hit up Wat Pho which is home to the famous reclining Buddha. Took my first Tuc Tuc ride (three wheeler). It was great! Purchased a plan ticket to Krabi for the 8th. Only 2300 baht last minute! Krabi is in the south of the country on the Andaman Sea or West side of the country.
