Nonthaburi is about 20-km northwest of Bangkok, and though technically a
separate province, it is contiguous with the sprawl of the Bangkok metropolis.
 Despite
its absorption this century, Nonthaburi actually predates Bangkok and was once a
major stop between the sea and former capital of Ayutthaya.
It can be reached by expressway, or the more charming (and cheap) river taxi
ride up the Chao Phraya River.
The land of elegant palaces, magnificent royal gardens, Ko Kret’s famous
pottery, notably old and beautiful temples, delicious durian and the gorgeous
city hall.
Nonthaburi Fruits & Fairs This annual fair is held during Mid April-beginning
of June in front of the old city hall to celebrate the abundance of local fruits
such as durian, mangosteen and mango as well as flowers and plants of
Nonthaburi.
