Nonthaburi, Province of Thailand in Central Thailand.
Description
Nonthaburi is a province in central Thailand that follows the Chao Phraya River through six districts. The territory combines orchards, flower gardens, and Buddhist temples within both urban neighborhoods and rural stretches.
History
King Maha Chakkraphat founded the settlement during the Ayutthaya period to oversee river trade routes. Over time, the area grew into a separate administrative unit closely tied to Bangkok.
Culture
Residents tend durian orchards with care, selecting fruit that ripens under closely controlled conditions. Potters on Koh Kred island continue Mon traditions, shaping ceramics with techniques visitors can watch in riverside workshops.
Practical
The province lies about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from Bangkok, reachable by MRT Purple Line, river boats, or road. Travel takes between 30 minutes and an hour depending on the route, with ferries offering slower but direct access to riverside spots.
Did you know?
The Nonthaburi Number One durian variety ranks among the most expensive in the world and grows only in select local orchards. Growers monitor soil, watering, and harvest timing with precision to preserve its flavor.
