Nonthaburi

Nonthaburi stretches along the Chao Phraya River, encompassing six districts with fruit plantations, flower gardens, and numerous Buddhist temples throughout its territory.

The province emerged as a strategic settlement during the Ayutthaya Kingdom period, established by King Maha Chakkraphat to control maritime trade along the Chao Phraya River.

The provincial territory includes Koh Kred island, where skilled artisans maintain traditional Mon pottery techniques passed down through generations in their riverside workshops.

Located 20 kilometers from Bangkok, the province connects to the capital through multiple transportation options including the MRT Purple Line, river boats, and extensive road networks.

The province produces Thailand's most expensive durian variety, the Nonthaburi Number One, which grows exclusively in local orchards under specific cultivation conditions.
