Watthana, Administrative district in central Bangkok, Thailand.

Watthana spans 12.565 square kilometers with three sub-districts: Khlong Toei Nuea, Khlong Tan Nuea, and Phra Khanong Nuea in the northern section.

The district emerged on March 6, 1998, after separating from Khlong Toei district and received its name from Princess Galyani Vadhana, sister of King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

The district houses multiple diplomatic missions, including embassies from Argentina, Bangladesh, Egypt, and India, creating an international environment within Bangkok.

Transportation options include five BTS Skytrain stations at Nana, Asok, Phrom Phong, Ekkamai, and Phra Khanong, plus the MRT at Sukhumvit Station.

Terminal 21 and EmQuartier shopping complexes share space with Little Africa, a neighborhood specializing in Middle Eastern cuisine and international dining experiences.
