A province that blurs into Bangkok's north — famous for durian, a historic market, and the river boat terminus.
Nonthaburi pier is the northern terminus of the Chao Phraya Express Boat — a cheap, scenic journey from central Bangkok with great river views.
A traditional riverside market with a different atmosphere from Bangkok's markets — quieter, more local, good fruit and food.
Nonthaburi is famous for the quality of its durian — the rich soil and water combination produces particularly prized fruit; durian season (May–August) brings buyers from Bangkok.
River express boat to Nonthaburi pier (about 45 minutes from Sathorn); or BTS to Mo Chit then songthaew.
A small artificial island near Nonthaburi known for traditional Mon pottery — a short boat hop from Nonthaburi pier and a worthwhile add-on for the same river trip.
Travellers who enjoy the express boat ride itself as much as the destination — the journey up-river is scenic and offers a break from the intensity of central Bangkok.
