'''Nonthaburi'''{{efn|{{langx|th|นนทบุรี}}, {{IPA|th|nōn.tʰá(ʔ).bū.rīː|pron}}}} is one of the central [[Provinces of Thailand|provinces]] (''changwat'') of [[Thailand]], established by the [[s:Translation:Act Establishing Changwat Samut Prakan, Changwat Nonthaburi, Changwat Samut Sakhon and Changwat Nakhon Nayok, Buddhist Era 2489 (1946)|Act Establishing Changwat Samut Prakan, Changwat Nonthaburi, Changwat Samut Sakhon and Changwat Nakhon Nayok, Buddhist Era 2489 (1946)]], which came into force on 9 May 1946 (Thursday).<ref>{{cite journal |date=9 May 1946 |script-title=th:พระราชบัญญัติจัดตั้งจังหวัดสมุทรปราการ จังหวัดนนทบุรี จังหวัดสมุทรสาคร และจังหวัดนครนายก พุทธศักราช ๒๔๘๙ |trans-title=Act Establishing Changwat Samut Prakan, Changwat Nonthaburi, Changwat Samut Sakhon and Changwat Nakhon Nayok, Buddhist Era 2489 (1946) |url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2489/A/029/315.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080409014726/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2489/A/029/315.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 9, 2008|access-date=2 December 2019 |journal=Royal Thai Government Gazette |volume=63 |issue=29 Kor |pages=315–317}}</ref>

Neighboring provinces are (from north clockwise) [[Ayutthaya province|Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya]], [[Pathum Thani province|Pathum Thani]], [[Bangkok]], and [[Nakhon Pathom province|Nakhon Pathom]]. Nonthaburi is the most densely populated province after Bangkok. The [[Bang Kwang Central Prison]] is in the province.

==Geography==
Nonthaburi is directly northwest of Bangkok on the [[Chao Phraya River]]. The province is part of the greater [[Bangkok Metropolitan Area]]. In most parts it is as urbanized as the capital,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://travel.trueid.net/detail/88388|title=นนทบุรี จูงมือเพื่อนสาว เที่ยวใกล้กรุงเทพ}}</ref> and the boundary between the two provinces is nearly unrecognizable. There is no forest area in the province.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.forest.go.th |title=ตารางที่ 2 พี้นที่ป่าไม้ แยกรายจังหวัด พ.ศ.2562 |year=2019 |department=Royal Forest Department |language=Thai |trans-title=Table 2 Forest area Separate province year 2019 |access-date=6 April 2021 |postscript=, information, Forest statistics Year 2019}}</ref>

==History==
Nonthaburi was declared a city in the middle of the [[16th century]]. It was previously a village named Talat Khwan. During the reign of King [[Prasat Thong]], a canal was dug to create a shortcut for the flow of the Chao Phraya. The river changed its flow into the [[Khlong Om Non|new canal]], which is still the riverbed today. In 1665 King [[Narai]] built a fortress, as the shorter river course was giving enemies an easier route to the capital, [[Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province|Ayutthaya]]. The town was then moved near the fortress.

From 1943 to 1946 the province was incorporated into [[Bangkok]].

==Symbols==
The [[Seals of the provinces of Thailand|provincial seal]] shows [[earthenware]], a traditional product of Nonthaburi. The [[list of Thai provincial trees|provincial tree]] and flower is the [[yellow flame tree]] (''[[Peltophorum pterocarpum]]''). Nonthaburi is a province where the Chao Phraya River crosses from north to south, and on the ground, the [[Chao Phraya giant catfish]] (''[[Pangasius sanitwongsei]]'') is the provincial aquatic life.

The provincial slogan translates to "Grand royal mansion, renowned Suan Somdet, Ko Kret's pottery, famous ancient temples, tasty [[durian]]s, and the beautiful government office". The royal mansion refers to Phra Tamnak Nonthaburi in [[Mueang Nonthaburi District]], the former residence of Prince Maha [[Vajiralongkorn]]. Princess Mother Srinagarindra Garden (Suan Somdet) is a water garden with a statue of princess [[Srinagarindra]] in the [[Pak Kret District]]. The provincial administration building once received an award as the most beautiful such building by the Ministry of Interior.

==Agriculture==
Nonthaburi province is renowned for growing the best [[durian]]s in the country. Durian has been a well-known fruit in this province for 400 years.<ref name="Year of the Durian">{{cite web|last1=Gasik|first1=Lindsay|title=The Most Expensive Durian In The World; Nonthaburi, Thailand|url=http://www.yearofthedurian.com/2014/07/the-most-expensive-durian-in-world_8.html#.VgljCsuqqkp|access-date=7 October 2015|website=Year of the Durian}}</ref> The fruit is known as "Durian Non" which means durian from Nonthaburi province.<ref name="stop">[http://www.stou.ac.th/study/projects/training/culture/durieannonthaburi.htm] สำนักบรรณสารสนเทส มสธ. ทุเรียนนนท์ ฝ่ายอุทยานการศึกษา สำนักการศึกษาต่อเนื่อง มหาวิทยาลัยสุโขทัยธรรมาธิราช (Accessed on 9 September 2015)</ref> It is also known as the most expensive durian in the world.<ref name="Year of the Durian" /> There are six groups of Nonthaburi durian which are Kop, Luang, Kan Yao, Kampan, Thong Yoi, and miscellaneous.<ref name="stop" /> Most durian orchards are near rivers such as the Chao Phraya. This is because the soil next to the river is good for planting which is also good for durian trees.<ref name="Year of the Durian" /> Many durian orchards have disappeared due to flooding and pollution.<ref name="stop" /> The price of durian Non depends on its group. Kan Yao is the most expensive, starting from around 10,000 baht up to 20,000 baht (or about US$600) for one durian. The Kan Yao itself is not easy to find in normal markets. The main reason for the high price is because it is rare. The recent flood in 2011 cleared out almost all of the durian trees in Nonthaburi, and only a few trees have been newly planted.<ref name="Year of the Durian" /> Also, residential areas are expanding into agricultural areas.<ref name="stop" />

== Health ==
Nonthaburi's main hospital operated by the [[Ministry of Public Health (Thailand)|Ministry of Public Health]] is [[Phra Nang Klao Hospital]]. It is also the location of the largest psychiatric hospital in Thailand- [[Srithanya Hospital]].
