Witthayu Road

It was extended from the Phloen Chit end to cross the Saen Saep Canal and meet Phetchaburi Road in 1972,[citation needed] reaching a total distance of 2.6 kilometres (1.6 mi).

Tree-lined and in parts divided into three carriageways, Witthayu Road is one of the greener streets passing through the city centre, as it runs along the length of Lumphini Park, the leafy campuses of the American, Dutch and British Embassies, as well as Nai Lert Park, originally the home of the eponymous Chinese businessman who developed the area in the 1920s.

[1] The area of the station, on the corner of Witthayu and Rama IV Roads, later became the site of the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School (1961–2000) and then Suan Lum Night Bazaar (2001–2010).

Frasers Property, a subsidiary of TCC Group, is currently building One Bangkok in this area (together with that of the former Lumpinee Boxing Stadium (1956–2014)).

[2] Lumphini Station of the MRT Blue Line serves the area.
