Banthat Thong Road

[2] It crosses Rama I Road at Charoen Phon Intersection, near the National Stadium, and the area is home to a large number of sporting goods shops.

[8] In 1912, as preparations were being made for the establishment of the Civil Service College of King Chulalongkorn (later to become Chulalongkorn University) in the area near the then-newly built road, Chao Phraya Yommarat (Pan Sukhum), the Minister of the Capital, voiced opposition to the plan, noting that the location of Prathat Thong Road—secluded yet not far from residential areas—was ideal for prostitute dens, which at the time were legal and served as a revenue source for the government.

From Saphan Lueang to the bridge, the road forms the boundary between Pathum Wan District's Rong Mueang and Wang Mai subdistricts.

[10] Saphan Lueang is an area close to Hua Lamphong, Sam Yan and Si Phraya Road.

The northern part of the area lies adjacent to the National Stadium complex, and is home to many sporting goods shops.

The redevelopment has transformed the neighbourhood into a gastronomic destination, with many new shops as well as longstanding establishments lining the shopfronts of Banthat Thong.

From Charoen Phon Bridge, the historic Ban Khrua community extends along the banks of Saen Saep Canal.
