Praboromarajchanok Institute (Thai: สถาบันพระบรมราชชนก) is a public higher education institute for production of public health workforce under the Ministry of Public Health in Thailand. It named after the father of modern medicine and public health in Thailand, Prince Mahidol of Songkhla. The institute was initially established in 1993 by Royal Decree as the "Institute for Health Workforce Development" (Thai: สถาบันพัฒนากำลังคนด้านสาธารณสุข) under the Office of the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Public Health which later renamed it as "Praboromarajchanok Institute" in 1995. The institute aims to produce and develop a workforce to serve the shortage of healthcare personnel of the Ministry of Public Health, educate and promote academic and profession, teach, research, provide social services, as well as to support religion, arts, culture, environment, and sports. In order to increase efficiency, the parliament enacted the Praboromarajchanok Institute Act B.E. 2562, giving it official higher educational institute status and more freedom in its administration.

Nonthaburi (Thai: นนทบุรี, pronounced [nōn.tʰá(ʔ).bū.rīː]) is the principal city of the district and province of the same name in Thailand. On 15 February 1936, Nonthaburi town municipality (thesaban mueang) was established, which only covered Suan Yai subdistrict (tambon), just 2.5 km2 (0.97 sq mi). On 25 September 1995, Nonthaburi was upgraded to city municipality (thesaban nakhon) by enlargement of the city with four more subdistricts, Talat Khwan (8.2 km2 [3.2 sq mi]), Bang Khen (9.0 km2 [3.5 sq mi]), Bang Kraso (11.2 km2 [4.3 sq mi]) and Tha Sai (8.0 km2 [3.1 sq mi]), covering a total of 38.9 km2 (15.0 sq mi). As of 31 December 2019, it has a registered population of 254,375, making it the most populous city municipality in Thailand (excluding Bangkok). There are 93 communities (chumchon), although not directly chosen by the local citizens, which provides advice and recommendations to local administrative organizations. Due to its proximity to Bangkok, the city is considered a suburb of Bangkok, a part of the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, or Greater Bangkok. Nonthaburi is served by public transport systems including the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority bus system, the Chao Phraya Express Boat, and the MRT Purple Line, inaugurated in 2016. Nonthaburi is known for its temple and market such as Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat, Wat Chomphuwek, Wat Chotikaram, Wat Khema Phirataram, Wat Prasat, Wat Sangkhathan and so on.
