Rat Burana is bounded north to east by the Chao Phraya River. The area was settled as a frontier for Thonburi when King Taksin established Thonburi as the new capital. Later administration reform placed Rat Burana as an amphoe of Thonburi province. It’s an area composed of apartment buildings and local shops selling different goods. The Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway runs through this area thereby it is accessible with different kinds of land transportation.
