'''Chatuchak''' ({{langx|th|จตุจักร}}, {{IPA|th|t͡ɕàʔ.tùʔ.t͡ɕàk|pron}}) is a ''[[khwaeng]]'' (subdistrict) of [[Chatuchak District]], Bangkok, Thailand. It is a location of the district office.

==History== The name ''Chatuchak'' after [[Chatuchak Park]], a [[public park]] was built on the occasion of King [[Bhumibol Adulyadej]] (Rama IX)'s fourth cycle (48 years old) anniversary (Chatuchak means "fourth cycle").
