Ratchathewi, Administrative district in central Bangkok, Thailand.
Ratchathewi District spans 7.126 square kilometers and contains four sub-districts: Thung Phaya Thai, Thanon Phaya Thai, Thanon Phetchaburi, and Makkasan.
The district gained independence from Phaya Thai District on November 9, 1989, taking its name from Phra Nangchao Sukumalmarsri Phra Ratchathewi, a royal consort to King Chulalongkorn.
The Victory Monument stands as a central memorial in the district, commemorating Thai soldiers who lost their lives during the French-Thai War of 1940-1941.
Three BTS Skytrain stations serve the district: Ratchathewi, Phaya Thai, and Victory Monument, connecting residents to Bangkok's public transportation network.
Bueng Makkasan, an artificial lake within the district, functions as a critical component of Bangkok's flood prevention infrastructure.
