PhranaKorn
Phra Nakhon is one of the 50 districts (Khet) of Bangkok, Thailand. It is the central district of Bangkok, including the Rattanakosin Island. Neighboring districts are (from north clockwise) Dusit, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Samphanthawong, and across the Chao Phraya River Thon Buri, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok Noi and Bang Phlat.
Phra Nakhon was also the name of the Bangkok province, until it was merged in 1972 with Thonburi to form the present day Bangkok metropolis. |
The district is bounded by the Chao Phraya river to the west, the Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem in the north, and Ratchadamnoen road and Khlong Ong Ang to the east. The center of Bangkok, marked by the city pillar shrine (Lak Mueang), is located in the district. Also surrounding the large free space of the Sanam Luang are the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, the National Museum in the former palace of the Vice King, and the main campus of the Thammasat University as well as the Silpakorn University. Also the temple Wat Mahathat is located there, though being one of the most important buddhistic temples in bangkok it is not really touristical attractive.
Other significant landmarks in the district include Wat Pho, the Giant Swing and Wat Suthat, Wat Ratchanadda (with Loha Prasat) and the Democracy Monument. Also the well-known Khaosan Road is located in the district. Another significant temple is Wat Bowonniwet, where several of the Thai kings had been ordained as monk.
Of the original 14 forts protecting Bangkok only two survive - Fort Phra Sumen in the northern corner of the district, and Fort Mahakan in the east of the district. Since 2000 a small park named Santichaiphrakarn around Fort Phra Sumen was built. |
Festival
Songkran festival, the traditional Thai New Year, is celebrated throughout the country during 13 to 15 April of each year. Khao San Road (or Khao Sarn Road) inside Phra Nakhon district is one notable place to celebrate the event where lots of people, both locals and tourists, come and splash water.
Ratchadamnoen Road is often heavily decorated with lights around King's birthday (5 December) and Queen's birthday (12 August) and other major anniversaries. Sanam Luang and recently created Lan Plabpla Maha Chedsada Bodin in front of Wat Ratchanadda and its Loha Prasat are open spaces that frequently used to celebrate various events.
