Kiakkai

Kiakkai alternatively 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 is home to the Sappaya-Sapasathan, the current Parliament House of Thailand. It is built on the site of the Yothinburana School. There is a megaproject to build a bridge across the Chao Phraya River, 5.9 km long, to Charan Sanitwong Road in Thonburi's Bang Phlat District. The impact from the construction of the bridge caused the three-way footbridge over the intersection to be demolished.
