Lat Pla Khao Road
street in Thailand
Lat Pla Khao Road (Thai: ถนนลาดปลาเค้า, pronounced [tʰā.nǒn lâːt.plāː.kháo]) is a road in the form of a soi (alley) in Bangkok. It is regarded as a minor road that connects several major roads, such as Chok Chai 4, Prasoet Manukit, and Ram Inthra. Its name has also come to refer to the surrounding neighbourhood.
Lat Pla Khao Road begins in Lat Phrao District as a continuation of Lat Phrao Wang Hin Road at Wang Hin Intersection, where it meets Sena Nikhom 1 Road. From there, it runs northward with a slight curve to the east, entering the Chorakhe Bua area and intersecting with Prasoet Manukit Road. It then heads northeast, bending again in front of Wat Lat Pla Khao temple, before entering Bang Khen District by crossing Khlong Sam Kha canal. The road continues straight until it ends at Lat Pla Khao Junction, where it meets Ram Inthra Road.
The road was originally called "Rap Pla Khao" (ราบปลาเค้า), but the name gradually evolved into "Lat Pla Khao" as it is today. The name refers to the abundance of wallago sheatfish (pla khao in Thai) that once thrived in the area. The road is also commonly known as "Soi Lat Pla Khao" (ซอยลาดปลาเค้า).

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Lat Pla Khao Road”, the useful work is to connect “street in Thailand” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q13015259. Authority coordinates are 13.864, 100.614. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
