Nakhon Chai Si Road

Its name is origin of Thanon Nakhon Chai Si subdistrict of Dusit district, since it runs through the area.

Its name was derived from a kind of Chinese porcelain with a fence-like pattern, which was a collector's item in those days.

It was a road that King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) graciously ordered to be constructed and it was also one of the roads in the group of "Amphoe (district) Dusit Roads Project" that was jointly started with the construction of Suan Dusit Palace in 1898 itself was blocking the pathway of the people that resided within that area, so for the convenience of transportation and communications for the public, the king graciously ordered that Ratchawat road was to be built around Suan Dusit Palace and also the convenience of the travelling between the northern outer suburb and inner capital, and between Samsen railway station and up till the Chao Phraya river.

Although it is short, Nakhon Chai Si road runs through important places, for example Rachawat bridge, a bridge over Khlong Prem Prachakon canal near the Dusit district office, Wat Amphawan, Wat Sawatwaree Simaram, Rachawat and Si Yan markets etc.

There was often Muslims or Hindus who herd cattle to graze on neighbouring Phaya Thai meadows.
