| A
suburban province located immediately to the north of
Bangkok, Nonthaburi makes a nice day trip out of the city. |
|
| |
| Jump
on any Chao Phraya Express ferry that is heading north,
as they all terminate in Nonthaburi. The trip from the
city takes about an hour and costs about 15 baht. |
| |
| Next
to the pier in Nonthaburi is a nice riverside restaurant,
and down the road is a typical Thai market. Old bicycle
rickshaws still ply the streets of Nonthaburi town and
are a pleasant way to tour around. |
| |
| From
Nonthaburi, long-tail boats depart regularly for Wat Chalerm
Phra Kiat, located northwest of Nonthaburi town. King
Mongkut ( Rama IV ) spent time here prior to becoming
King (1851 - 1869). The temple grounds area good spot
for a picnic, and some evidence of King Mongkut's time
here can still be found. |
