Nonthaburi reviews

Backchat from the Travelfish community

• Peaceful place

  Actually in reference to the above post, there are many taxis in Nonthaburi, as well as mini vans to/from Victory Monument.
  
  The no. 166 bus also goes from Victory Monument to Pakkret - if you're going to either Koh Kret or the new immigration office in Chaeng Wattana.
  
  Pakkret is quieter, with minimal tourists/things to do, but there is a nice view of the river from under the bridge there.
  
  The government is currently building a MRT link from Bang Sue to Bang Yai, which is in Nonthaburi.
  
  As far as I know, Pin Klao is not part of the Nonthaburi district, although it is quite close. This has many shopping centres (Malls), and bars/restaurants. It is also close to the new Southern Bus Terminal for buses/mini vans to the south.

• Traveling in Nonthaburi

  I've lived and worked in Nonthaburi for two years. It's a nice escape from the crowded and noisy streets of Bangkok and it only takes minutes to get there.
  
  The trouble is: How? There's no skytrain, subway, or (as many) taxis. Plus, it's a large provice. If you are interested in scoping out the entire region, I'd recommend you track down some wheels -- i.e. car or taxi.
  
  Although, it's a bit easier to reach the outer shell of Nonthaburi. The closest section of Nontaburi to Bangkok is (Phra) Pin Klao. Directly west of the Chao Phraya River, Pin Klao, is within walking distance of Khao San Road. If you head over the bridge near Khao San and keep walking, you could make it in 20 minutes.
  
  There, you can find reputable markets, great outdoor food, and smaller pubs. What you won't find are the tourists.
  
  Take a walk, and have a look.

  This gives your review a bit of context - especially if you were last in Chiang Mai in 1932.
