The final stretch of Luk Luang Road in Thewet area
Luk Luang Road (Thai: ถนนลูกหลวง, pronounced[tʰānǒnlûːklǔa̯ŋ]) is a short street 1.378 km (0.9 mi) long in downtown Bangkok. It runs through three sub-districts of Dusit District, namely Si Yaek Maha Nak, Suan Chitlada, and Dusit.
It is considered one third of the Luang Road series, which includes Luang, Luk Luang, and Lan Luang Roads. These are all short thoroughfares built during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V).
The street is a canalside road along the northern side of Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem the entire distance. It is parallel to Krung Kasem Road on the southern side.
It begins at the Maha Nak Market, the largest wholesale fruit center in Bangkok, then straight to the northwest. Luk Luang Road ends at Thewet Bridge, where it meets Samsen Road.[1]
It was built along with the dug of the outer city moat, Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem. When finished, the King Chulalongkorn named it Luk Luang, which means "royal children", because it ran past the residences of high-ranking members of the royal family, all of whom had the status of being the King's children. One of them is Ladawan Palace,[a] which is now Crown Property Bureau (CPB) Head Office.[1]
Bordering the street are (most are government offices besides the Crown Property Bureau) Government House and Ministry of Education.[1]
Wat Samananam Borihan, formerly and still colloquially known as Wat Yuan Saphan Khao[b] is one of the interesting places along the street. It is a historic Annamese Buddhist temple in Mahāyāna sect. The area where the monastery is situated during the reign of King Nangklao (Rama III) was the residence of Annamese (modern-day Vietnamese) immigrants.[2]
Luk Luang Road in the 1970s and 1980s was also used as a venue for Thailand Book Fair. An annual event held between the end of March and the beginning of April by the Ministry of Education, before moving to the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in the 1990s.[3]
