Phra Nakhon District, Administrative district in Bangkok, Thailand.
The central district of Bangkok encompasses Rattanakosin Island and extends from the Chao Phraya River to Ratchadamnoen Road and Khlong Ong Ang.
The district transformed from its previous status as Amphoe Chana Songkhram to become Khet Phra Nakhon in 1972, marking a shift in administrative organization.
The district contains multiple royal temples, including Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Pho, and Wat Bowonniwet, which maintain traditional Buddhist practices and ceremonies.
The district divides into 12 sub-districts, each managing local services and municipal operations through designated administrative offices and community centers.
The Pak Khlong Talat market operates as Bangkok's primary flower distribution center, supplying fresh flowers and produce to vendors across the metropolitan area.
