Luang Road
Luang Road

Luang Road (Thai: ถนนหลวง, RTGS: Thanon Luang, pronounced [tʰā.nǒn lǔa̯ŋ]) is a road in downtown Bangkok, it runs in a short distance of just 1.8 km (1.1 mi). The road starts at the corner of Ruan Cham junction from Maha Chai road in front of Special Bangkok Metropolitan Prison (present-day Bangkok Corrections Museum), and southeastward to Krung Kasem road in the area catty-corner from Bangkok railway station, also commonly known as Hua Lamphong railway station. Its history begins in 1893, Prince Bidyalabh Pruethidhada, then minister of Public Works, suggested to King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) that a new road be built between Charoen Krung and Bamrung Mueang roads, from the Suea Thayan Fort and reaching the road along the canal Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem (present-day Krung Kasem road) and passing the city moat Khlong Ong Ang to arrive at the road at the front of the Buddhist temple Wat Depsirin and end at the railway station. This road was to be named "Luang Road" which means "royal road"; it would facilitate people who wanted to board the train. Although it is a short distance, Luang road is carried by two bridges—Raphi Phatthanaphak bridge at the beginning of the road. Its name was given by the king after the name of his son, Prince Raphi Phatthanasak. Assumed that the bridge was completed at the same time as the road in 1897. The bridge as seen today is the reinforced concrete restored bridge. The bridge walls have side curve and cast iron balustrade. At centre of the wall are inscriptions of the bridge's name and the year of restoration (1962). The bridge has metallic light poles at its four ends. Raphi Phatthanaphak bridge is a bridge crossing Khlong Ong Ang, otherwise known as Khlong Rop Krung in the same line as Damrong Sathit, Bhanubandhu, Han, Bophit Phimuk and Osathanond bridges. Another one—King Chulalongkorn had Nopphawong bridge built side by side with the road and he wanted it to be finished in time for his birthday celebration in December 1897, when the king would be the same age as his half-older brother Prince Nopphawong. It across Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem at the area where Prap Sattru Phai Fort used to be located. Nopphawong bridge had been renovated and modified several times. Currently, Luang road is a one-way traffic street, similar to nearby Yaowarat road. The direction of traffic is from Nopphawong intersection, the five-way intersection, where it cuts across Krung Kasem and Mittraphan roads, at the foot of Nopphawong bridge on the northwest side up till reaching Ruan Cham junction. It passes by important places (apart from Wat Debsirin) include Phlapphla Chai intersection and Klang Hospital.

The Poh Teck Tung Foundation (Thai: มูลนิธิป่อเต็กตึ๊ง, from pinyin: Huáqiáo Bàodé shàntáng) is a rescue foundation founded in Thailand famously known for rescuing road accident and managing unclaimed corpses with proper burials. The foundation originated a hundred years ago in Thailand concerning Chinese's traditional religious beliefs that based on committing good deeds as a principle of action.Initially started from twelve Chinese merchants who came to Thailand in 1909 called Taihonkon. They were corpse managing parties to take care of the unclaimed corpses. These corpses were buried at Wat Don Cemetery, Thanon Charoen Krung road, which they acquired the property by soliciting the fund together and bought it. Succeeding in 1938 with the collaboration of Chinese businessmen and association of publishers, they reformed it by registering the party as an official foundation, with the fund of two thousand baht. It was registered as Huakeawpohtecksengtung (Huáqiáo Bàodé shàntáng), becoming the 11th foundation formed in Thailand.In the 1990s, its volunteers' early presence at the site of accidents led government to incorporate them into Thailand's developing emergency medical service system. The foundation's volunteers, along with similar other groups, now receive rudimentary training and are dispatched as first responders in the majority of accidents. Presently not only managing the unclaimed corpses Por Teck Tung foundation has been doing public welfare such as assisting and bringing relief to any kind of disaster including famine and poverty. With the collaboration of Hua Chiew Hospital, they also provide medical services to accommodate the victim. The foundation has expanded their objective in extensive education and established higher education institutions under the royal given name of Huachiew Chalermprakiet University.The foundation operates throughout day and night, providing the first responder to support the incident as quickly as possible including having the hotlines to notify the incident. A citizen can volunteer and participate in the training course. The foundation also accepts donations for several purposes and organizes events for charity and religious belief.
