It is a point of intersection where Charoen Krung, Rama III and Mahaisawan Roads meet. The boundaries of the junction are considered to be where Charoen Krung and Mahaisawan Roads terminates, and where Rama III Road originate.
The name "Thanon Tok" means "road to fall", because it is the final stretch of Charoen Krung Road that straight to south and dead-ends on the Chao Phraya River. Hence colloquially referred to as "Thanon Tok" according its characteristics. Originally, it was a main port of Bangkok named "Thanon Tok Pier" before the establishment of Bangkok Port, also was a location of Bangkok Dock Company. Subsequently, when water transportation and water trading were reduced in importance and Bangkok Port moved to present Khlong Toei, it became a freight-only pier.[1]
Government facilities in the area include Charoenkrung Pracharak Hospital, a public hospital under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and the Yan Nawa office of the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA), where one of Bangkok's former trams is preserved as a tourist attraction. The Bang Kho Laem Line of the Bangkok trams terminated here at Thanon Tok.[1]
Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) bus line 1 is the only route that runs all the length of Charoen Krung from Thanon Tok to Tha Tian in the old town zone of Rattanakosin Island, the distance is 12 km (7.5 mi).[2][3]
At the southern end of Charoen Krung Road from Trok Chan as far as Thanon Tok considered as a large community of Muslims. Thus making it the location of many mosques i.e. Masjid Darul Abideen, Masjid Al Bayaan, Masjid Bang Uthit, Masjid Assalafiyah etc.[4] These Muslim ancestors all migrated from Java or Malay since the reign of King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I) in the early Rattanakosin (18th century).[5]
In addition, Thanon Tok is also the point where construction of the Inner Ring Road or more widely known as Ratchadaphisek Road began. King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) presided over the opening ceremony of construction on June 8, 1972. Today, it forms the beginning of Rama III Road.[6]
