Sathon Road

Thai and International banks such as SMBC and Citicorp have their headquarters located along Sathon Road.

The Silom Line of the BTS Skytrain also runs along most part of this road with stations Surasak and Saphan Taksin.

The intersection between Sathon and Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra Roads is a new commercial area filled with office buildings such as the Empire Tower.

Nowadays, it is just a small waterway amidst the tall buildings in Sathon quarter, the country's business and financial centre.

During the King Chulalongkorn (Rama V)'s reign, Luang Sathon Racha Yut (หลวงสาทรราชายุตก์), also known as Chao Sua Yom (เจ้าสัวยม), a wealthy businessman, was commissioned in 1892 to dig the canal linking Khlong Thanon Trong (now Rama IV Road) with the Chao Phraya River at a side of Wat Yannawa.

Nai Lert demarcation stones, which used to be six of them between the Khlong Saen Saep and Phloen Chit Road, were used as mooring points for nearby the Embassy of the United Kingdom boats.
