The Mon people, a minority group who live on the island Koh Kret on Bangkok's Chao Praya River, are believed to be the first inhabitants of Thailand. They're also renowned for their exceptional pottery skills, and the best way to see these crafty and friendly people at work is to go on a cycling tour on the island. You'll find yourself in another world - and it'll be difficult to imagine the city is just 20 minutes away by boat
