It looks at residences, buildings, embassy areas, and important government buildings that appeared during that period, to study the effects of Bangkok’s overall dynamics on the residents of <em>Bangrak</em> on Charoen Krung Road, as well as the implications of the area’s wealth. The area of study only focusses on <em>Bangrak</em> and the nearby surrounding areas. The construction of Charoen Krung Road after the signing of the Bowring Treaty resulted in a significant change in the <em>Bangrak</em> area, which had previously been on the fringes of the city. The area became an inhabited district with businesses, embassies, and government offices, as well as being a residential district of the wealthy in Bangkok. The modernity of Bangkok manifested itself in various ways on Charoen Krung Road in <em>Bangrak</em>, causing this area to become one of Bangkok’s most important business districts at the time, and the prosperity of <em>Bangrak</em> residents led to the construction of Bangkok’s first high-rise shopping mall in the area to meet the needs of <em>Bangrak</em> residents.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of the Faculty of Arts, Silpakorn University}, author={Nibhatsukit, Warangkana}, year={2021}, month={Dec.}, pages={1–22} }
