The lively area of The Phra Chan today used to be the Palace of Prince Prachank Sillapakhom who
dedicated the land to the privy purse, later the area was rent by a ferry company.  The Phra Chan
was an old community of Bangkok.  It is busy and crowed durng the datime because it has a
ferry jetty to serve people from Siriraj Hospital on the west Bank of ChaoPhraya river, Thammasat
