Suea Pa Road

Suea Pa road was built in the King Vajiravudh (Rama VI)'s reign in 1921 due to the great fire in Tambon Trok Tao Hu on Charoen Krung road.

Because of this area houses were built to scramble and there was not enough road to prevent danger in a timely manner.

It is generally understood that the road name comes from the Wild Tiger Corps, or locally known as Suea Pa, King Rama VI personal affairs.

In fact, it comes from the brand name of Tiger Balm, an analgesic heat rub founded and owned by Aw Boon Haw (Chinese: 胡文虎) and Aw Boon Par (Chinese: 胡文豹), two overseas Chinese brothers who had made public donations to many countries in this region, including Siam (Thailand at that time).

Several large and well-known bulge bracket banks and restaurants lined up one after the other on both sides of these two roads.
