Wang Burapha Phirom is a khwaeng (subdistrict) of Phra Nakhon District, in Bangkok, Thailand. In 2017 it had a total population of 11,427 people. [2]
Its name is after Wang Burapha Phirom, a former palace of Prince Bhanurangsi Savangwongse. The palace was demolished in the 1950s to build a shopping district and three cinemas in the name of "Wang Burapha". Wang Burapha can be considered as the centre of youngsters of that era comparable to Siam Square in present.
During King Rama V's reign, the area was named "Tambon Pak Khlong Talat" eponymous Pak Khlong Talat, a large local wet market by the Chao Phraya River and Khlong Lot.
Currently, the palace location has become a Mega Plaza Saphan Lek, the department store that became the new hub of various kinds of toys and models after nearby Saphan Lek and Khlong Thom was rezoned by Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) in 2015.

Construction of the road marked a major change in Bangkok's urban development, with the major mode of transport shifting from water to land. Charoen Krung Road was Bangkok's main street up to the early 20th century, but later declined in prominence. It is still home to many historic buildings and neighbourhoods, which are beset by changes as extension of the underground MRT is poised to drive new development.
