Where to Stay in Nonthaburi: City, Pak Kret, IMPACT

Nonthaburi is the province directly north of Bangkok, and most of it is built up. Wikipedia calls it the most densely populated province after Bangkok. There is no beach and no mountain: you choose between the river city around Nonthaburi Pier, Pak Kret near Ko Kret and Wat Ku, the IMPACT exhibition area in Muang Thong Thani, and Bang Kruai on the Bangkok edge. This page compares those five areas and 8 hotels.

Use the quick answer above, then the area table. We show no hotel prices because rates change with dates and room type, and the booking buttons open a search for your own dates. We have not stayed at any of these hotels. Every card shows facts taken from the hotel's own website and checked on 16 October 2026 after a separate verification pass, with the source linked. Many small Nonthaburi hotels have no website we could read, so this is a checked list, not a complete one.

How to choose

1. Start with the plan, not the room. For Ko Kret and Wat Ku, Kalanan Riverside Resort says Wat Ku sits next to it and that it runs boat trips to Ko Kret every week. For an IMPACT concert or exhibition, Novotel Bangkok IMPACT says the centre is a five-minute walk and ibis Bangkok IMPACT says guests can walk to any hall by sky walk. For the Chao Phraya Express Boat, Livotel Express says the Rama 7 Bridge pier is a 10-minute walk.
2. Check the hotel's own page for what you need. Koo Hotel lists its smallest room at 19 sq m, Best Western Matter Tiwanon says no pets are allowed, and Livotel Express says its front desk runs 7:00 to 21:00 only.
3. Ask about events. Riverine Place describes meeting rooms and weddings for 40 to 120 people, the Grand Richmond home page leads with events and weddings, and the two IMPACT hotels are built around show and concert days. If you want a quiet stay, ask whether a big event is booked on your dates.

Area comparison

No hotel price is quoted here because we cannot verify a current rate for your dates. Each hotel card gives the source and the date each fact was checked.

Two hotels here. Riverine Place calls itself a Chao Phraya riverside hotel with 133 rooms and an Olympic-sized pool. Grand Richmond is on Rattanathibet Road and lists 8 types of accommodation and a wellness centre.

Choose it if: You want a river view or a large hotel in the provincial city.

Skip it if: You want to be at the IMPACT halls or next to Ko Kret.

Mistake to avoid: Do not assume the Ko Kret ferry is next door; Ko Kret is in Pak Kret district, so ask the hotel for the drive time.

Before you book

• Open the map link for the area and then check the hotel's exact pin. A neighbourhood name can cover a wide area.
• Check the final rate with tax, payment timing, cancellation terms and what the room includes.
• If arriving late, confirm the check-in method and the last transport that actually runs.
• Nonthaburi is part of the Bangkok metropolitan area, so you can also sleep in Bangkok and visit by boat or MRT. Wikipedia says the MRT Purple Line northern section opened on 6 August 2016 and the Pink Line opened for a free public trial on 21 November 2023. Wikipedia says Nonthaburi Pier is the final stop for all Chao Phraya Express Boats except the green-flag boat.
• Ko Kret is an island with no bridge, so most visitors arrive by ferry. Wikipedia, citing a Thai source, says the island is open to visitors on Saturday and Sunday and public holidays from 9:00 to 17:30, while Wikivoyage says it can be reached every day with the market on weekends. The two disagree, so check before you plan a weekday trip.
