Nonthaburi sits in Thailand’s central plain along the Chao Phraya River basin, where the southwest monsoon from roughly May through October brings the bulk of the year’s rainfall.
Just north of Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River, the city was significantly affected by the catastrophic 2011 floods that swept down the river basin toward the capital. The catastrophic 2011 Thailand floods, which submerged large parts of the central plain for months and caused billions of dollars in damage, remain the defining event for how a wet monsoon season combined with the Chao Phraya’s slow drainage to the sea can produce prolonged, severe flooding, and radar is a key part of how Thailand’s Meteorological Department tracks incoming rain.
