History

Its name after a fort was called "Pom Prap Sattru Phai", southward of Nang Leong Ban Yuan (near Nopphawong Bridge in present day). It was one of the seven forts built along two banks of Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem according to the King Mongkut (Rama IV)'s orders. When Bangkok was expanding, the government therefore removed these forts.[2]

Geography

Neighboring subdistricts are (from the north clockwise): Wat Thep Sirin in its district, Rong Mueang of Pathum Wan District, Talat Noi and Samphanthawong of Samphanthawong District, and Ban Bat in its district.[3]
