==History== Wat Sam Phraya is an area outside [[Rattanakosin Island]] or Bangkok's old town zone. Considered to be the northern end of [[Bang Lamphu]]. It is named after the local temple [[Wat Sam Phraya]] and it is the location of the district office. "Bang Khun Phrom" is another unofficial name for it collectively with the subdistrict adjacent to [[Bang Khun Phrom]]. For Thai people, the area is familiar as the location of Channel 4, the country's first television station that has been operating since 1955 and is currently [[Channel 9 MCOT HD]]. Channel 4 was therefore often referred to as "Channel 4 Bang Khun Phrom".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://readthecloud.co/podcast/tv-program/|language=thai|title=โทรทัศน์ยุค 70|date=2022-01-05|accessdate=2024-03-25|work=The Cloud|first1=Tongthong|last1= Chandransu|first2=Pattareeya|last2= Puapongsakorn|trans-title=70's televisions}}</ref>
