Kiakkai
Kiakkai or Kiak Kai is an intersection and neighbourhood in Bangkok's Thanon Nakhon Chai Si Subdistrict, Dusit District.
The term Kiakkai is an old Thai word meaning "Provisions Department".
The neighborhood is the site of many Royal Thai Army bases: the 1st Cavalry Regiment, King's Guard ; 1st Field Artillery Battalion, King's Guard ; 4th Cavalry Division King's Guard ; and Military Armoured Vehicle Radio Station. Often, these units have supported coups such as the Siamese revolution of 1932, the Thammasat University massacre, the 1981 April rebellion, and the September 9th rebellion.
Kiakkai will be home to the Sappaya-Sapasathan, the new Parliament House of Thailand, due to be completed in mid-2019. It is built on the site of the Yothinburana School. There is a plan to build an bridge across the Chao Phraya River, 5.9 km long, to Charan Sanitwong Road in Thonburi's Bang Phlat District.
