Saphan Lueang
Saphan Lueang, also written as Saphan Luang, is a four-way intersection and a neighbourhood at the end of Banthat Thong road in downtown Bangkok. It's located within Rong Mueang sub-district, Pathum Wan district. It shares a border with Maha Phruttharam sub-district, Bang Rak district and Wang Mai sub-district in its district, where Rama IV meets Banthat Thong roads and the Sirat-Expressway. The next intersection on Rama IV road is Sam Yan.
The term Saphan Lueang means "Yellow Bridge" due to in the past there's a yellow bridge crossing canal named "Khlong Luang" nearby. Later on, the bridge was demolished and Rama VI road was built over the canal, but the name "Saphan Lueang" still to this day.
