Ratchadamnoen Road (ถนนราชดำเนิน)
Ratchadamnoen Road (ถนนราชดำเนิน) begins at the northeast corner of the Grand Palace and leads northward to the Phan Phiphop Lila Bridge, which crosses the old city moat. The road then continues east as Ratchadamnoen Klang until it crosses Khlong Rop Krung (the outer moat of Rattanakosin Island) at Phan Fa Lilac Bridge, where it turns northward toward the Royal Plaza. Ratchadamnoen Nok, in particular, was designed to impart Western-style grandeur, with three carriageways with wide pavements lined by multiple rows of trees. It is bordered by government offices, including the Government House. The Democracy Monument sits in the center of Ratchadamnoen Klang Road. Today, the avenue serves as a major thoroughfare bringing traffic into the old city center and across Phra Pin-Klao Bridge to the Thonburi side of the city.

The Rama VIII Bridge (สะพานพระรามแปด)
The Rama VIII Bridge (สะพานพระรามแปด) is a cable-stayed bridge crossing the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand. It was built to alleviate traffic congestion on the nearby Phra Pinklao Bridge. Construction of the bridge took place from 1999 to 2002. The bridge was opened on 7 May 2002 and inaugurated on 20 September, the birth anniversary of the late King Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII), after whom it is named. The bridge has an asymmetrical design, with a single pylon in an inverted Y shape on the west bank of the river. Its eighty-four cables are arranged in pairs on the side of the main span and in a single row on the other. The bridge has a main span of 300 meters (980 ft), and was one of the world's largest asymmetrical cable-stayed bridges at the time of its completion.
