History

The Huai Khwang district was established from an area formerly part of Phaya Thai. Adjustments to the district were made in 1978, adjusting boundaries with neighboring districts Phaya Thai and Bang Kapi, and again in 1993, creating the new Din Daeng district.

Places

It was built with a grant from Japan, and opened on 9 October 1987. It can be reached via Bangkok Metro's Thailand Cultural Centre Station.
  • Ratchada Grand Theatre, the site of the Siam Niramit show.
  • Royal City Avenue (RCA), a nightlife area with lots of pubs.
