Erm. First, this area is (technically) covered under Bangkok/North, and second, I'm not sure "Din Daeng" is the best name for it. Howzabout Bangkok/Rachadaphisek? Jpatokal 22:33, 10 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Locally it's more known as Din Daeng. Especially the highway signs are heavy with Din Daeng. I agree it must be untangled from "north". There is some overlap, especially about low rachadapisek. −Woodstone 17:02, 11 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Moved from "Din Daeng" to "Rachadaphisek" as discussed under previous "North", now renamed to "Phahonyothin". −Woodstone 16:14, 20 Aug 2005 (EDT)

[edit] Ratcha vs Racha

"Ratchadaphisek" with a T is the form used by the Metro station and it gets 35,000 hits on Google vs. around 8000 for "Rachadaphisek", so I've taken the liberty of moving the page. Jpatokal 23:51, 20 Aug 2005 (EDT)

That seems indeed to be by far the most common romanisation. I had just removed inconsistencies without checking common usage first. The Thai spelling has only one character, but allows both "ch" and "tch" as correct romanisations. −Woodstone 08:52, 21 Aug 2005 (EDT)
