Amphoe Mueang Nonthaburi ( Thai อำเภอ เมืองนนทบุรี }, pronunciation: ʔāmpʰɤ̄ː mɯ̄aŋ nōntʰáʔbūrīː ) is a district ( Amphoe - administrative district) in the southeast of the province of Nonthaburi . The Nonthaburi Province is located in the central region of Thailand .
geography
Nonthaburi is located 20 kilometers north of the state capital Bangkok on the Mae Nam Chao Phraya (Chao Phraya River) .
Amphoe Mueang Nonthaburi borders the following counties (clockwise from the south): the Amphoe Bang Kruai , Bang Yai , Bang Bua Thong and Pak Kret in Nonthaburi Province and the ( Khet ) Lak Si , Chatuchak and Bang Sue districts of Bangkok .
Amphoe Mueang Nonthaburi is traversed by the Mae Nam Chao Phraya, the most important river in central Thailand. It divides the district into a very densely populated eastern part, which is completely occupied by the city ( Thesaban Nakhon ) Nonthaburi (almost three quarters of the district's population live here), and a more suburban western part.
history
Mueang Nonthaburi County was originally called Talat Khwan, but it is uncertain when it was established. In 1917 the provincial administration of Nonthaburi was transferred to this district, since then it has been called Mueang Nonthaburi. From January 1, 1943 to May 9, 1946, the district was part of the capital Bangkok and was simply renamed Nonthaburi. After the province was re-established, the name was changed back to Mueang Nonthaburi.

traffic
The far east of Amphoe Mueang Nonthaburi is traversed by the Sirat Expressway , a toll road for northern Bangkok traffic. Another important road is Ngam Wong Wan Road (National Road 302), which connects Nonthaburi with Bangkok's Chatuchak district. In a westerly direction, National Road 302 is called Rattanathibet Road and leads to Ratchaphruek Road and Kanchanaphisek Road ( Outer Bangkok Ring Road ). The Tiwanon Road (National Road 306) runs north to neighboring Pak Kret . Its southern continuation, Phibunsongkhram Street, leads into the Bang Sue district of Bangkok.
The riverside parts of Amphoe Mueang Nonthaburi can be reached by Chao Phraya express boats. These have five piers on the east side (Phibunsongkhram 1, Wat Khema, Phibunsongkhram 2, Nonthaburi / Phibunsongkhram 3 and Krasuang Phanit (Ministry of Commerce)) and two piers on the west (Wat Tuek, Wat Kian).
Amphoe Mueang Nonthaburi does not have a railway station. However, since 2016 it has been connected to the capital's mass transport system by the purple line of the Bangkok Metro (MRT). This establishes a connection between the Nonthaburi province and the existing blue line.
There are three road bridges over the Chao Phraya in the area of Amphoe Mueang Nonthaburi: The Phra Nang Klao Bridge, completed in 1985, and the Rama V Bridge (Saphan Phra Ram 5) further downstream, opened in 2002 . To relieve the Phra Nang Klao Bridge, another six-lane bridge was opened in 2008 directly parallel to it; together they now form a kind of double bridge. Another crossing between Phra Nang Klao and Rama V, which is designed as a six-lane extradosed bridge , is to be opened at the end of 2014. As part of the MRT expansion, a bridge for the new rapid transit system is also being built. This will be built next to the two existing Phra Nang Klao bridges and therefore has the project name Phra Nang Klao 3 .
Government and justice
The Thai Ministry of Commerce and Health are located in Amphoe Mueang Nonthaburi.
This district is also home to the Bang Kwang Central Men’s Prison , which has a reputation for particularly harsh prison conditions and is known by Western foreigners under the cynical nickname “Bangkok Hilton”.
