Nong Kop (Thai: หนองกบ) is a sub-district (tambon) in Ban Pong district, Ratchaburi Province, Thailand.

Overview

Nong Kop Sub-district is flat. Its name, meaning "frog pond", derives from the many ponds and marshes in the area where frogs thrive. There is much gravel and sand extraction in the sub-district, an activity which has left the landscape dotted with small lakes.[2] The sub-district has many Lao Wiang communities.[3] The specialty of the sub-district is grilled chicken from Bang Tan village.[4]
