Tha Tian, situated on the banK oF Chao 0hraya 2iver in the inner area oF 2attanaKosin Island, is the site oF historical siGniĹľcance with temple, palace and the FoundinG oF cities that can be traced bacK to the !yutthaya %ra. ThrouGh the reiGns oF +inG TrailoKKanat and +inG 2amathibodi II, the +inGdom oF !yutthaya was prosperous and wealthy due mainly to international sea trade. The Chao 0hraya 2iver was its major route in tradinG. There were more canal diGGinGs and restorations to serve larGe vessels. In the reiGn oF +inG Chairacha Thirat, +lonG ,ad or Chao 0hraya 2iver "ypass was duG between the "anGKoK Noi and "anGKoK 9ai estuaries and 3amronG and Tab NanG canals were restored. This led to chanGes in waterway paths. That is, canals turned into rivers while the river became shoal. ThereFore, the riverside communities were instead resettled at the end oF +lonG ,ad, which became a rest area For international ships and junKs and Grown into a centre oF tradinG and, eventually, an urban community called Ĺ‹Bang kokĹŒ. "anG KoK was even more siGniĹľcant in its role durinG the reiGn oF +inG Maha ChaKKraphat when it was elevated as a major border town where all junKs were reQuired to be anchored and to report related details oF Goods and passenGers, and to pay both entrance and exit taxes. This continued For more than 3 years. %ntitled as _Thonburi Srimahasamut`, "anG KoK was in perFect location, where the 0alace was at the heart, and it contributed to Growth and prosperity oF two eras Ăą Thonburi and 2attanaKosin.

The Thonburi +inGdom was mostly in politically critical situation, resultinG in Forts and bulwarKs alonG the Chao 0hraya 2iver. ! majority oF people lived on the western side oF the river presently Known as Thonburi side . Most people livinG in Tha Tian, on the eastern side oF the river, were ForeiGn miGrants and displaced people From wars, especially the loyal Chinese people who Followed +inG TaKsin From !yutthaya. 3ettled down alonG the Chao 0hraya 2iver, the Chinese miGrants played a vital role in terms oF economic system. Their capabilities encompassed a diverse ranGe oF sKilled labor e.G. ironworKers, carpenters, paint worKers and masons and manual labor e.G. those in junK buildinG, salt FarminG, tin mininG, plantations oF suGar cane, pepper, cardamom, tobacco and spices In the early 2attanaKosin %ra, "anGKoKian way oF liFe was closely related to water and waterside areas. !lonG the shores, the Chao 0hraya 2iver was crowded with ŶoatinG homes and raFts, and a wide variety oF water vehicles liKe junKs, sailboats, cutters and rowboats. "anGKoK was Known amonG ForeiGners at that time as ŋ6enice oF the %astŌ because oF its dependence on the river and crisscrossed canals as its source For way oF liFe, trades and transports. /ver the years From !yutthaya to 2attanaKosin, the river and riverside trades has remained unchanGed as a heart oF prosperity and Growth.

!Fter the establishment oF the ChaKri Dynasty in 782, +inG 2ama the st issued a royal command to move the 0alace From Thonburi, the previous capital on the west side oF the river, to the spot where it now stands in the vicinity oF Tha Tian, which were the Chinese and !nnam settlements at that time. !s a result, the capital was reestablished. Thonburi city walls were removed and then were rebuilt on the east. Fourteen FortiĹľcations were built and moats were created around the city area. 'overnment oFĹľces were also moved to the new capital. There was also a major renovation oF 7at 0ho 0ho Temple , a royal temple established in the reiGn oF +inG TaKsin. In addition, several palaces were built in the area at the bacK oF 7at 0ho. In the reiGn oF +inG MonGKut, Thais were still considered as the social members oF ‘water communityĹŒ due mainly to their settlements alonG the shores oF Chao 0hraya 2iver, canals and waterways. Their homes and shops were scattered around the shores or on land connected to waterways. On the other hand, temple, palaces, Government oFĹľces and residents oF noblemen were situated on plots oF land, most oF which were Granted by (is Majesty the +inG. Major marKets, with both Fresh and dried Food available, were unQuestionably those located alonG the canals and river, and around estuary. 3ellers, either retailers or wholesalers, were on raFts and in vendinG boats in the communities such as Tha Tian and 0aK +hlonG Talat. (owever, althouGh those marKets on land were available, they were Quite relatively smaller. 3ometimes, this Kind oF marKets, such as Thai 7anG marKet, were only stalls, placed in the areas rented From the members oF the royal Family, noblemen or temple, resellinG Foods and Goods bouGht From ĹśoatinG marKets. The customers were city dwellers. ,ater, aFter the "owrinG Treaty 855 , 3iam enGaGed more in international trade. ! chanGe in economic Forms resulted in that oF urban development in which the Ĺ‹landĹŒ community was more emphasized than the Ĺ‹waterĹŒ one.
