Nong Chok, Bangkok




Nong Chok  is a distric in Bangkok, but it doesn’t feel like Bangkok at all because a smell of countryside. It’s well known with Muslims area because 85% of society are Muslims, the others being Buddhists and Christians.
The history and development of Nong Chok is linked to the digging of the Saen Saab Canal that cuts across the district from west to east. Muslim people who resided in this area immigrated from the Patani Kingdom (southern Thailand). Their descendants live in the area to this day.

Living in Nong Chok is like living in a country side because the area still have largely rice fields. You can see a lot of beautiful flowers roadside. In Nong Chok, There is no skyscraper, It’s a goverment rule. The popular and delicious food is Tom Yam Kung (Kung :Shrimp).
