It was formerly known as Thanon Duang Tawan (ถนนดวงตะวัน; lit Sun Road) can be divided into three parts viz Thanon Duang Tawan Nok (ถนนดวงตะวันนอก; Outer Sun Road), Thanon Duang Tawan Nai (ถนนดวงตะวันใน; Inner Sun Road) and Thanon Duang Na (ถนนดวงตะวันหน้า; Front Sun Road) according to the direction it runs through. The road was built in 1898, during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), along with Dusit Palace and the other roads that surround the palace. Its name is derived from a kind of Chinese ceramic with sunrise from the sea motifs, one of the most popular collections in that era. Later on February 6, 1919, which corresponds to the reign of King Vajiravudh (Rama VI), he changed the name of these roads, including Duang Tawan road. The name "Si Ayutthaya" is a reminder of his former royal title "Krom Khun Thep Dvaravati" (Prince of Dvaravati), that refers to Prince of Ayutthaya Kingdom.

Saowani Bridge
Saowani Bridge

Saowani Bridge(Thai: สะพานเสาวนี, RTGS: Saphan Saowani, pronounced [sà.pʰaːn sǎːw.níː]) is a historic bridge in Bangkok, Thailand. It carries Si Ayutthaya Road over a canal running alongside three railway tracks, situated between Chitralada railway station and Sam Sen railway station. The bridge is located at the southeast corner of Chitralada Royal Villa in the Suan Chitlada Subdistrict, Dusit District. After crossing the railway tracks, it enters the Thung Phaya Thai Subdistrict in Ratchathewi District. The Dusit-side end of the bridge also serves as an intersection of the same name, where Si Ayutthaya Road cuts across Sawankhalok Road. Designated as a registered ancient monument by the Fine Arts Department, Saowani Bridge was originally constructed of wood. Over time, it deteriorated and was rebuilt as a reinforced concrete bridge to commemorate the occasion of Queen Saovabha Phongsri's 48th birthday in 1911, the first year of King Vajiravudh's (Rama VI) reign. A distinctive feature of this bridge is its four corners, each adorned with large vase-shaped stucco reliefs decorated with female figures and intricate vine patterns. The center of the bridge features an arched pavilion embellished with floral motifs, with the bridge's name displayed on a plaque at the base of the arch. The bridge's posts and railings are shaped like palm buds and line both sides and the approaches. Originally, the bridge was narrower than it is today. Its width was later expanded to accommodate the growing traffic along Si Ayutthaya Road. During the renovation, the delicate stucco reliefs and ornamental designs were carefully removed, preserved, and then reassembled to match their original appearance.

Ratchawithi Road
Ratchawithi Road

Ratchawithi Road, also spelled Rajvithi (Thai: ถนนราชวิถี, RTGS: Thanon Ratchawithi) is a major road in Bangkok, Thailand. It begins in Ratchathewi district at Sam Liam Din Daeng Junction, where it intersects with Din Daeng Road and Ratchaprarop Road, and runs northwest, past Victory Monument Circle, through Dusit district, and ultimately crossing the Chao Phraya River on Krung Thon Bridge and ending in Bang Phlat district at Bang Phlat Intersection, where it intersects with Sirindhorn Road and Charan Sanitwong Road. Ratchawithi Road was formerly known as Sang Hi Road (Thai: ถนนซางฮี้ or ถนนซังฮี้). It was originally constructed during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, as one of three new roads constructed at the time Dusit Palace was built, along with Lok Road (Thai: ถนนลก, now Rama V Road) and Duang Tawan Road (Thai: ถนนดวงตะวัน, now Si Ayutthaya Road). The name "Sang Hi" comes from Chinese (囍), and means "exceedingly happy".The original road stretched only from behind Dusit Palace to the edge of the Chao Phraya. It was later expanded to connect to Ratchaprarop Road, and then extended across the river to Charan Sanitwong Road when the Krung Thon Bridge began construction in 1954. Because it connected the two sections of the former Sang Hi Road on either side of the river, the Krung Thong Bridge has been called by locals Sang Hi Bridge (Thai: สะพานซังฮี้, Saphan Sang Hi) since before it was officially christened. The intersection of Ratchawithi and Samsen roads, the final intersection before crossing the bridge on the east side of the river, is named Sang Hi Intersection.The name was changed to Ratchawithi Road on February 16, 1918 by King Vajiravudh. The term is derived from the Pali/Sanskrit, rāja + vīthi, and means "royal way" or "king's road". The stretch of the road from Victory Monument to Kamphaeng Phet 5 Road is lined with a large number of hospitals and health-related institutions. These include Rajavithi Hospital and Boromarajonani College of Nursing, the Institute of Dermatology, Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health (Children's Hospital), Hospital for Tropical Diseases, Phramongkutklao Hospital and College of Medicine, the Royal Thai Army Nursing College, Prasat Neurological Institute and the under-construction extension of Ramathibodi Hospital. At Ratchawithi Intersection, where it meets Rama V Road near Chitralada Royal Villa and Dusit Zoo at about 6:30 am on Sunday October 14, 1973, there was a clash between a group of protesters demanding a constitution and police. It escalated into a bloody uprising recorded in history known as "Oct 14 event".
