Location Information

Pakkred, Nonthaburi is on the outskirts of Bangkok. Public transportation is excellent and cheap as is the local food. Thai food is the best in the world. Lots of fruits, vegetables, fish, chicken, etc. Pakkred is very Thai. Not many foriegners are present. The people live on little income. However, within an hour one can be downtown Bangkok which is very westernized. There are many interesting places to see in Thailand as well as in neighboring countries such as Laos, Burma, Cambodia, Malaysia and Vietnam;
