Construction of the road marked a major change in Bangkok's urban development, with the major mode of transport shifting from water to land. Charoen Krung Road was Bangkok's main street up to the early 20th century, but later declined in prominence. It is still home to many historic buildings and neighbourhoods, which are beset by changes as extension of the underground MRT is poised to drive new development.

The road is named after Sanam Chai ("field of prosperity"), a field formerly located in front of Saranrom Palace and used for military training. The field, together with Sanam Luang, was named by King Mongkut (Rama IV) in 1855, in order to follow the naming previously used in Ayutthaya. Sanam Chai is overlooked by the Grand Palace's Sutthaisawan Prasat Hall, which is used by the king for public appearances.

In the early Rattanakosin period, there're eight Saphan Hok in the area of Bangkok, both the Phra Nakhon (Bangkok core side) and Thonburi sides. Nowadays they have already collapsed all, only one is here. In the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) was changed to a reinforced concrete for tram running through.
