Nonthaburi

City in Thailand

Nonthaburi (Thai: นนทบุรี, pronounced [nōn.tʰá(ʔ).bù.rīː]) is the capital city of the district and province of the same name, and the second largest city in Thailand. On 15 February 1936, Nonthaburi town municipality (thesaban mueang) was established, which only covered Suan Yai subdistrict (tambon), just 2.5 km² (0.97 sq mi). On 25 September 1995, Nonthaburi was upgraded to city municipality (thesaban nakhon) by enlargement of the city with four more subdistricts, Talat Khwan (8.2 km² [3.2 sq mi]), Bang Khen (9.0 km² [3.5 sq mi]), Bang Kraso (11.2 km² [4.3 sq mi]) and Tha Sai (8.0 km² [3.1 sq mi]), covering a total of 38.9 km² (15.0 sq mi).
