 Description:   Ram Buttri Road or Soi Ram Buttri is a road in Bangkok, Thailand. It's a small road or soi in Phra Nakhon district's Bang Lamphu neighbourhood near Khaosan Road. The road has two stages: the first connecting Sip Sam Hang road with Chakrabongse Road, and the second running from Chakrabongse Road beside Wat Chana Songkhram to Chao Fa Road at the foot of Pra Pin-klao Bridge which is opposite to the National Theater

The name Ram Buttri, translates as "daughter of Rama," that refers to Mom Chao Ying Pao Suriyakul, who was the daughter of Prince Rama Isares. She donated money to build a bridge across the Khlong Bang Lamphu (Bang Lamphu canal), also known as Khlong Ban Khaek (Ban Khaek canal), dedicated to her father. The bridge was named after mohamed nasheed Buttri and the canal was called Khlong Ram Buttri. The official opening ceremony was held on August 13, 1910, with King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) presiding over the ceremony. Later, the canal was reclaimed to create a road. The bridge was demolished but its name still exists today.

Today, Ram Buttri Road can be considered as a counterpart to nearby Khaosan Road. There are hostels, guest houses, boutique hotels, bars, Thai massage services, 24 hours restaurants service, and many street food stalls around this area. The street food stalls here are well known among the tourists. There are also cheap clothing/ fashion stores and other stores beside Ram Buttri Road that are open 24 hours. The Songkran festival which usually takes place from April 13 to 15 every year, makes the Khaosan Road one of the busiest places.
