Tha Phra Chan


Tha Pra Chan is a pier on Rattanakosin Island, Bangkok, on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River, in Phra Nakhon District. The pier is beside Thammasat University's campus of the same name. Tha Phra Chan literally means 'moon pier'. More broadly, the name also refers to the area around the pier and the university. The area is also known as a marketplace for Thai amulets.
