Phahonyothin Road was originally called "Prachathipat Road" (Thai: ถนนประชาธิปัตย์, Thanon Prachathipat, literally "Democrat Road"), and reached just 22 km (14 mi) to Don Mueang. In 1938, Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram had the road extended from Don Mueang, through Bang Pa-In, Ayutthaya, Saraburi, Lopburi, and Singburi, making it 162 km (101 mi) long. The newly lengthened road was renamed Phahonyothin Road, in honor of General Phraya Phahol Pholphayuhasena (formerly Phot Phahonyothin), the second Prime Minister of Thailand and one of the heads of the 1932 revolution.[1]
Phaholyothin Road in Bangkok is also a demarcation line between districts or sub-districts in several phases as follows:
Thung Phaya Thai (outbound) and Thanon Phaya Thai (inbound) in Ratchathewi district, as a continuation of Phaya Thai Road, from Victory Monument to the bridge over the Khlong Samsen.
Phaya Thai (outbound) and Samsen Nai (inbound) in Phaya Thai district throughout the entire area, from the bridge over the Khlong Samsen to the bridge over the Khlong Bang Sue (begins July 26, 2017).[2]
Chatuchak (outbound) and Chom Phon (inbound) in Chatuchak district from the bridge over the Khlong Bang Sue to Ratchayothin Intersection.
Lat Yao (outbound) and Chan Kasem (inbound) in Chatuchak district from Ratchayothin to Sena Nikhom Intersections.
