Phra Sumen Road cuts through its northern end. While the southern end is shaped like a traffic circle, where Tanao, Rambuttri, Tani Roads, and itself meet. Its name literally translates to "13 department stores". It comes from the fact that Guangdong Province in China, back in the day and there were 13 stores or 13 firms in a trading centre and were referred to as the guild. They were an association that supported each other. When the Chinese came to Siam (present-day Thailand) to trade they set up the guild system to support their businesses here too. They built a trade centre just as in Guangdong and it is supposed that is why the road it called. The trade centre has long been demolished but this name is still remains. It is often believed that there were actually 13 Chinese stores that once stood here. There is no evidence to confirm this assumption. The shophouses along the street as seen today were built during the King Rama VII's reign and the King Rama IX's reign. They were rebuilt from the original buildings that had been built since the King Rama IV's reign. These shophouses are believed to be the first shophouses in the Bang Lamphu and has contributed to the area's prosperity as a commercial district until the present. Sip Sam Hang Road used to be a pocket park-style island in the middle. It was built in 1976 by filling in an area that had previously been a canal. Before that, it was a bomb shelter during World War II. It was two rectangular reinforced concrete buildings with many ventilation shafts. It could hold about 50 people. Later, when the war was over, Bangkok Municipality (present-day Bangkok Metropolitan Administration) then dismantled the chest to build a public toilet. Until early 2022, it was dismantled to make way for the construction of the Southern MRT Purple Line extension (Tao Poon-Rat Burana route).

On the southeastern corner of the intersection along Chakrabongse Road once stood the New World Department Store, a prominent and popular landmark of the Bang Lamphu district. It was later abandoned, and the lower floors became flooded, eventually turning into a well-known "fish sanctuary." Once entering the Samsen side, the area is considered outside the Rattanakosin Island zone. Originally, it was an unnamed wooden bridge. In 1899, it was rebuilt as an elegant steel-structured bridge, while the bridge deck remained wooden and was equipped with rollers underneath, allowing it to be opened and closed to let boats pass, with fortress-like structures on both sides resembling gate passages, though without actual doors like those of other city gates of Rattanakosin. As a result, the area came to be known as "Pratu Mai" (ประตูใหม่, lit. 'new gate'). During the era when trams operated in Bangkok (from the reign of King Rama V until 1968), when a tram reached this point, the conductor would call out, "Bang Lamphu, Pratu Mai!" The present concrete bridge was constructed in 1943. The name "Norrarat Sathan" means "the residence of Norrarat," referring to its location near the home of Chao Phraya Norrarat Ratchamanit (To Manitkul), a high-ranking noble during the reign of King Rama V.
