Darn Kha Nhon (Custom House) of Ayutthaya in Pak Kret used to play an important role until the early of Rattanakosin period. the local folks have still called the mouth of the south canal “Baan Pak Darn”, while the old Mons have called it “Pan Gung”. Pak Kret was selected as a location for custom house due to its geographical advantage. It was a perfect place for ships to stop by before continuing their trips through the Chao Phraya River to Ayutthaya as the distance between Nonthaburi and Ayuttthaya is quite far and there was no canalization or shortcut at that time. Besides, the location also supported government inspection over ships that passed by. Until now, the local folks have still called the mouth of the south canal “Baan Pak Darn”, while the old Mons have called it “Pan Gung”. After the canalization of Khlong Lut Kret had finished in the reign of Phra Chao Yoo Hua Tai Sra, this area was crowded with ships of all kinds heading to Ayutthaya through the shortcut. The canal became a major freight transport route for both consumer items and agricultural products. With an influx of foreigners, Pak Kret community expanded to cover larger area, and the custom house there played an important role in trade and commerce until the early Rattanakosin period. Peoples in the Chao Phraya River Area Chinese: Having been the minority since the Ayutthaya period, Chinese people were a driving force for economic development.

Later, the community has expanded and became Chinese Community of Talat Pak Kret to date.

Other Muslims were people of Saiburi, who have migrated here since the third reign of Phrabat Somdej Phra Nang Klao Chao Yoo Hua (King Rama III) and lived in Tambon Ta It of Pak Kret District. Laos: In the reign of Phrabat Somdej Phra Nang Klao Chao Yoo Hua (King Rama III), after winning the battle over Nuang Bua Lumpu, Viengchan and other nearby regions, the king allowed Laos to migrate into Bang Pood and built their homes on the east side of the Chao Phraya River above Wat Kuh. Due to the fact that Lao communities were limited in story. it was gradually integrated into that of the Thais and eventually disappeared. Mons: In 1773 (B.E. 2316) under the reign of Phrabat Somdej Phra Chao Taksin Maharaj, it was the first time that the king allotted certain parts of the land to Mons in Pak Kret and appointed Phraya Maha Yotha (Jeng) the community leader. Later in 1814 (B.E. 2357) under the reign of Phrabat Somdej Phra Buddha Lertla Napalai (King Rama II), Mons suffered severely from Burmese intervention and decided to resist the oppressive force.
