Sathorn Road is a major road in Bangkok, lined with skyscrapers and corporate offices, especially banking and finance related.
On the southern end of the roads is the Taksin Bridge, also commonly called Sathon Bridge, crossing the Chao Phraya River. Thus Sathon Road serves as an important transportation link between Phra Nakhon and Thonburi sides of Bangkok. The Bangkok Skytrain also runs along most part of this road with stations Surasak and Saphan Taksin. The skytrain extension to the other side of Chao Phraya is still under construction but is expected to begin operation in mid 2007. The intersection between Sathon and Narathiwat Racha Nakarin roads is a new commercial area filled with office buildings. |
