Naming
[edit]The subdistrict is named after Wat Ratchabophit, a dominant Buddhist temple in the area. Built by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) in 1869 and completed in 1870. This small, quiet but significant temple, its name means "The Temple Built by the King". It is another temple of the King Chulalongkorn besides Wat Benchamabophit (Marble Temple), also it is the temple of the King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) as well.[2][3]
