Chak Phet Road began to be built on 28 September 1898, divided into two phases: the first phase, from Pom Chak Phet beside Wat Ratchaburana to Pak Khlong Talat, and the second phase from Pom Chak Phet to the intersection of Yaowarat, Maha Chai, Phiraphong Roads near Pom Maha Chai (present-day Wang Burapha Intersection) and Phahurat Road. When passing this point it continues as Maha Chai Road. Both phases are one-way traffic roads.
