Nonthaburi
The town of Nonthaburi lies approximately 20 km (13 mi.) north of Bangkok on the banks of the Menam Chao Phraya. Numerous straight and winding watercourses and picturesque Klongs around the town flow towards the river where a
considerable part of the town's daily life is played out. A number of attractive temples stand on the banks of the Klongs, which are lined with lush vegetation and houses on stilts.
The most beautiful approach from Bangkok is via the Menam Chao Phraya (boats depart Oriental Pier).
By car: from Bangkok along Samsen Road, which later crosses into Phibul Songkhram Road, along Menam Chao Phraya (approximately 20 km (13 mi.)).
By bus: from Thonburi Bus Station (several times daily).
