Selling Nonthaburi with confidence.
Nonthaburi hugs the Chao Phraya just upstream of Bangkok. Its star is Koh Kret — a car-free river island of Mon-community potters, riverside temples, weekend craft markets and street food, reached by a short ferry hop.
For agents it’s an authentic, low-key half-day that trades skyscrapers for slow river culture, easily paired with a Bangkok river cruise.
What we package in Nonthaburi.
Koh Kret pottery island
A car-free loop of Mon terracotta workshops, leaning Wat Poramai chedi, craft stalls and snacks — best on weekends.
Chao Phraya river life
Riverside temples, local ferries and the old provincial waterfront — Bangkok’s gentler, greener edge.
Markets & durian
Nonthaburi’s prized durian and riverside fresh markets for a genuine local-food angle.
When to send your clients.
November to February is the easiest weather for walking Koh Kret; weekends are when the craft market and food stalls fully come alive.
Green season (May–Oct) is lush but bring rain cover for the island loop; the durian season peaks around April–June.
Nonthaburi — asked by agents.
How do clients reach Koh Kret?
Via Nonthaburi just north of Bangkok, then a one-minute ferry. Explera handles transfers and the boat end to end.
Who is it right for?
Culture, craft and food-curious clients wanting an authentic, walkable river island without leaving greater Bangkok.
Is it a full day?
A relaxed half-day; it pairs perfectly with a Chao Phraya dinner cruise or a Bangkok temples morning.
Best day to visit?
Weekends for the full craft-and-food market; weekdays are quieter and calmer for photography.
When should agents book?
Comfortable inside 14–21 days.
