Charoen Rat Road

Charoen Rat Road (Thai: ถนนเจริญรัถ, RTGS: Thanon Charoen Rat, pronounced [tʰā.nǒn t͡ɕā.rɤ̄ːn rát]) is a road in Bangkok's Thonburi side. Charoen Rat is a road in form of soi (alleyway) overlaps between Khlong San and Khlong Ton Sai Sub-district, Khlong San District. It is not far from Wongwian Yai BTS station.Charoen Rat is a road that connects Somdet Phra Chao Tak Sin Road in the area of Wongwian Yai Market, opposite Wongwian Yai railway station with Charoen Nakhon Road in the beginning phase, opposite Khlong San pier and former Khlongsan Plaza beside ICONSIAM.Although it is a short road, but it is important in terms of being a center of leather goods shops in Bangkok. There are specialty shops with supplies for shoe-making, belt-making with purse-making etc. The shops have awls, wooden yardsticks, wax, die-cut tools, mallets, silver pens for writing on leather, vinyl, canvas, zippers by the roll, purse handles, chains, snaps, buckles and of course leather. It is considered as the largest and popular center of leather production equipment in Bangkok.Affiliated bus line: 57 is the only bus that runs all the length of the road.Moreover, at night, it is also considered a very popular and renowned street food center. Some restaurant here received 2019 Bib Gourmand from Michelin Guide as well.Originally, throughout the length of the road, used to be the Maeklong railway line, which ran south as far as terminating in Samut Songkhram Province. The terminal station, Pak Khlong San used to be located on the inactive Khlongsan Plaza market (due to the expiration of the land lease agreement with the SRT in 2020). The station was dismantled and railway was filled in to make way for the road and bus stops in 1961 according to the cabinet resolution of the Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat government, to ease traffic congestion in Bangkok. Therefore, causing the origin of Maeklong railway line became Wongwian Yai railway station in the Wongwian Yai quarter instead.

Lat Ya Road
Lat Ya Road

Lat Ya Road (Thai: ถนนลาดหญ้า, RTGS: Thanon Lat Ya, pronounced [tʰā.nǒn lâːt jâː]) is one of the major roads in Khlong San District, on the Thonburi side (the west bank of the Chao Phraya River) of Bangkok. It was constructed in 1929 during the reign of King Rama VII as the fourth of eleven roads developed on the Thonburi side, in anticipation of the expansion of land transportation in the future. In 1932, marking the 150th anniversary of Rattanakosin (Bangkok), the Memorial Bridge was built across the Chao Phraya River to connect the Phra Nakhon (Bangkok core) and Thonburi sides. The name "Lat Ya" is derived from the Battle of Lat Ya (present-day Lat Ya Subdistrict, Mueang Kanchanaburi District, Kanchanaburi Province), where Siamese forces led by Prince Maha Sura Singhanat achieved victory over the Burmese army. This battle was part of the Nine Armies' War (1785–86) during the reign of King Rama I in the early Rattanakosin period. The road was laid through land that had originally been orchards, such as longkong groves. At first, it was merely a gravel road surfaced with crushed stone, and the roadside utility poles were simple electric poles. At present, the road has six traffic lanes with a central median, a total width of 28 m (91.9 ft), and a length of 1,650 m (5,413.4 ft) It begins at Wongwian Yai, the site of the King Taksin the Great Monument, and runs northeast, passing the three-way Lat Ya Junction, where Itsaraphap Road and Tha Din Daeng Road begin, before continuing straight and terminating at Khlong San Junction, where it meets Charoen Nakhon Road and Somdet Chao Phraya Road, in front of Taksin Hospital and the Khlong San District Office. Lat Ya Road, particularly the stretch from Platform mall (formerly Robinson and Central Lat Ya) to Lat Ya Junction, is especially lively at night, lined with numerous street food vendors, notably chim chum eateries, many of which have been in operation for over 20–30 years. During the 1980s and 1990s, the area was also home to several suki restaurants, along with various dining spots and steakhouses. It was once the site of Thonburi Café, a large and well-known nightclub and restaurant in Bangkok during the heyday of such venues. In addition, around December 28 each year, the entire road is typically closed and turned into a pedestrian street for celebrations marking King Taksin the Great Day, with the festivities lasting about two to three days depending on the year.
