King Chulalongkorn’s vision brought us here. Here to Lak Si District, marked by the fourth milestone along the Khlong Prem Prachakon canal. This canal, a vital waterway during the King’s reign, connected Bangkok to Bang Pa-in. Lak Si District, established in 1997, was once part of Don Mueang District. Lak Si means “fourth milestone”. It’s a testament to its location along this historic canal. Imagine the boats laden with goods, plying these waters. Lak Si District, with a population of over 100,000, is a vibrant part of Bangkok. It’s bordered by Don Mueang, Bang Khen, and Chatuchak districts. It also shares a boundary with Nonthaburi province. Lak Si Station provides crucial transportation links, serving as an interchange for the SRT Dark Red Line and MRT Pink Line. This makes Lak Si District easily accessible. While not a major tourist destination, Lak Si District offers a glimpse into a different side of Bangkok. A side steeped in history and connected by waterways. A place where the echoes of King Chulalongkorn’s ambitious project still resonate.
