Pathum Wan, Administrative district in central Bangkok, Thailand

Pathum Wan District spans 8.37 square kilometers in Bangkok's center, featuring modern shopping centers, universities, and religious temples alongside office buildings.

The district originated as rural land with royal paddies in 1855, transforming into an urban zone after the construction of Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem canal.

Jim Thompson House Museum presents traditional Thai architecture and silk heritage, while Erawan Shrine displays daily ceremonial dances and religious offerings.

The district connects through multiple BTS Skytrain stations and MRT lines, with Siam Station functioning as the central interchange point for Bangkok's transit system.

Wat Pathum Wanaram temple stands as a spiritual sanctuary between massive shopping complexes, creating a distinct intersection of commerce and tradition.
