The name Ratchadaphisek mentioned here refers to the short distance between the Lat Phrao Intersection and the Rama IX Road Intersection, which is a busy commercial district containing several big department stores, office buildings, hotels and a large number of restaurants and nightlife establishments. A little way off the road is Thailand Cultural Centre, where shows and exhibitions are held from time to time. A subway station is also available here.
Located to the north of downtown, Ratchadaphisek is a part of large ring road that joins many old routes together. But only the newly constructed sections are called Ratchadaphisek Road. The lively part, running parallel to the east of Vibhavadi-Rangsit Road, starts from the Rama IX Intersection and head up north to the Ratchada-Lat Phrao Intersection. Ratchadaphisek is one of Bangkok’s busy districts housing numbers of high-rises and hotels, and it is also known as one of the famous entertainment zones with numbers of nightclubs, youth club discos and large soapy massage parlours. The traffic is horrendous during rush hours.
