Yan Nawa

Yan Nawa District spans 16.662 square kilometers along the Chao Phraya River, bordered by Rat Burana, Bang Kho Laem, Sathon, and Khlong Toei districts.

The district was formerly called Ban Thawai due to Tavoy people trading water buffaloes, and became part of Bangkok Province in 1932 after Phra Pradaeng Province dissolution.

The waters of Yan Nawa supported local cuisine with native species like fiddler crabs, bagrid catfish, and common snakehead fish used in traditional Thai dishes.

The district connects to other parts of Bangkok through the Rama IX Bridge and Bhumibol Bridge, with Central Plaza Rama III providing retail services.

The district maintains two sub-districts, Chong Nonsi and Bang Phongphang, with the Saint Louis Hospital serving the community since 1898.
