Prang (pagoda in Khmer-style) of Wat Chakkrawat, the origin of the area's name

Chakkrawat (Thai: จักรวรรดิ, pronounced [t͡ɕàk.krā.wàt]) is a khwaeng (subdistrict) of Samphanthawong district, Bangkok.

History

[edit]

In the year 1915, corresponding to the King Vajiravudh (Rama VI)'s reign. Chakkrawat was an amphoe (district) of Phra Nakhon province, same as Sam Yaek, Sampheng, and Samphanthawong.

Later in the year 1931, during the King Prajadhipok (Rama VII)'s reign. The economic downturn, the Siamese government therefore has to save the nation's budget. Therefore had to merge the Chakkrawat and Sampeng together with Samphanthawong since then.

Until the year 1973, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) was officially established. Samphanthawong therefore changed the status to a full district and Chakkrawat officially changed its status to a subdistrict of Samphanthawong.

Its name after Wat Chakkrawat, an old temple dates back to the Ayutthaya period, or formerly known as "Wat Sam Pluem" which located in this area.[2][failed verification]
