Bang Rak lies on the eastern bank of the Chao Phraya River, developed from riverside settlements into a major commercial district during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The district contains the Mahanakhon Skywalk viewpoint, religious sites including Wat Phra Sri Maha Uma Devi, and the Bangkok Citizens Museum. The area's history of expatriate settlement and commercial development makes it significant for understanding Bangkok's urban growth.
