Nonthaburi Pier
Nonthaburi Pier or Nonthaburi Pier (Pibul 3) (Thai: ท่าน้ำนนทบุรี, ท่าน้ำนนทบุรี (พิบูล 3); often called short: ท่าน้ำนนท์[1]), with designated pier number N30, is a pier on Chao Phraya River located in the Tambon Suan Yai, Amphoe Mueang Nonthaburi, Nonthaburi Province, Thailand, considered as another main pier of Nonthaburi, apart from Pak Kret Pier.
Description
[edit]It is the final stop for all Chao Phraya Express Boats, except the green-flag boat.[2] A cross-river ferry service is also available to the Bang Si Mueang side of Nonthaburi.[1]
The pier is situated next to the Nonthaburi Clock Tower and the Old Nonthaburi City Hall, a teak antique building dating back to the reign of King Rama VI. Today, it serves as a provincial museum and is registered as an ancient monument by the Fine Arts Department.[3]
The surrounding area features restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, banks, clothing stores, and a market. It also functions as a terminal for several bus routes.[4][1]
In addition, the Chao Phraya River flows past the pier, making it a venue for the annual King's Cup Regatta held around mid-year.[5]
