35 kilometers north of downtown Bangkok, the man-made island of Ko Kret is one of the area's most popular weekend getaways. Viewed as a tourist, it's a relaxing and charming place to spend an afternoon- but as a cook, it's...confusing. The local food on Ko Kret doesn't look like the everyday cuisine anywhere else- even right across the river on the mainland. So we set out to find out why that is, and who the people are who call this place home.
