Bang Rak, Administrative district on the eastern bank of Chao Phraya River, Thailand.
Bang Rak district stretches across 5.54 square kilometers, featuring modern skyscrapers along Si Lom and Sathon roads next to traditional temples and markets.
The district transformed from riverside settlements into a European quarter during the late 1800s when King Mongkut constructed Charoen Krung Road.
The district contains the Sri Mahamariamman Temple, Assumption Cathedral, East Asiatic Building, and numerous consulates representing international communities.
The area connects to Bangkok's transit system through the Silom Line of BTS Skytrain, Blue Line MRT, and Chao Phraya Express Boat services.
Bang Rak provided 170,000 employment positions in 2016, making it one of Bangkok's most concentrated business areas despite its small size.
