Nong Chok

Nong Chok spans 236 square kilometers and contains eight sub-districts, including Krathum Rai, Khlong Sip, and Lam Phak Chi, forming Bangkok's easternmost region.

Established in 1897 during King Chulalongkorn's reign, Nong Chok transferred between Min Buri province and Chachoengsao before joining Bangkok's administration in 1932.

The district maintains a population of 170,643 residents, with 75 percent practicing Islam and 22 percent following Buddhism, reflecting its diverse religious composition.

The district connects to central Bangkok through local bus services and songthaews, while its network of canals supports agricultural irrigation and transportation.

Nong Chok shelters one of Bangkok's last flying fox colonies and produces specialty items such as gamecocks and handcrafted birdcages.
