Pak Kret (Thai: ปากเกร็ด, pronounced [pàːk krèt]) is a district (amphoe) in the northeastern part of Nonthaburi province, central Thailand.
The district is located in the northeast of the province. It borders (from north clockwise) the districts Lat Lum Kaeo and Mueang Pathum Thani of Pathum Thani Province, Don Mueang and Lak Si of Bangkok, and Mueang Nonthaburi and Bang Bua Thong of Nonthaburi.
The district is crossed by the Chao Phraya River. A large oxbow of the river has been shortened by a canal, Khlong Lat Kret, dug in 1722 in the Ayuthaya Era, to form the island of Ko Kret.
Muang Thong Thani is a satellite city with high-rise condominiums developed by Bangkok Land in 1989, the company built Mueang Thong Thani Stadium in 1998 for the 13th Asian Games. The stadium was later renamed IMPACT Exhibition Center. It includes a 12,000 entertainment and sports arena, which is the primary large-scale concert venue for Bangkok, as well as a convention center for trade shows.
