was constructed in 1971 by the initiative of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX)
to resolve traffic congestion in Bangkok. Since then the landscape has slowly transformed
from primarily residential to commercial. Many domestic and international firms setup their
headquarter offices here, and several large shopping centers and department stores
contribute to the formation of the Ratchada District.
It is forecasted that the Ratchada District will continue to expand in the next several years.
It is bustling with activities throughout the day and night with office buildings, hotels, and
shopping malls.
