'''Phahurat''' or '''Pahurat''' ({{lang-th|พาหุรัด}}), often known as [[Thailand]]'s [[Little India (location)|Little India]], is an ethnic neighborhood surrounding Phahurat Road in [[Wang Burapha Phirom Subdistrict]], [[Phra Nakhon|Phra Nakhon District]], [[Bangkok]]. The area that would become Phahurat was an enclave of Annamese ([[Vietnamese people|Vietnamese]]) immigrants who came to Siam during the reign of [[Taksin|King Taksin]] (1768–1782). In 1898, a first broke out and paved way for a road<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.muangboranjournal.com/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=44|title=From Phahurat to Mingmueang Market|author=Pranee Klumsom|publisher=Mueang Boran journal|access-date=2007-06-05|language=th|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111001075906/http://www.muangboranjournal.com/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=44|archive-date=2011-10-01}}</ref> which was named "Bahurada", commonly spelled today as Phahurat or Pahurat (as it is pronounced), by [[King Chulalongkorn]] in remembrance of his daughter Princess [[Bahurada Manimaya]] ([[Royal Thai General System of Transcription|RTGS]]: ''Phahurat Manimai'') ({{lang-th|สมเด็จพระเจ้าลูกเธอ เจ้าฟ้าพาหุรัดมณีมัย}}) who had died at young age.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://arcbs.bsru.ac.th/rLocal/print.php?story=03/06/11/5282435|title=Phahurat, rLocal Database|publisher=Bansomdejchaopraya Rajabhat University|access-date=2007-06-05|language=th|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927050613/http://arcbs.bsru.ac.th/rLocal/print.php?story=03%2F06%2F11%2F5282435|archive-date=2007-09-27|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Many of today's Phahurat residents are of [[South Asian]] descent. A [[Sikh]] community settled there more than a century ago and established a textile trading center that is still thriving. The golden-domed Siri Guru Singh Sabha temple is a landmark of Phahurat. The neighborhood is also home to [[South Asian]] [[Hindu]]s and [[Muslim]]s.

For the road, Phahurat is a short route that is divided into two parts. The first is the road continues from [[Ban Mo Road]] at Ban Mo Intersection ended up at the point where it meet [[Tri Phet Road]], known as Phahurat Intersection, while the second separates itself from the left side of [[Chak Phet Road]] to the termination at Phahurat Intersection, both parts are [[one-way road]]s.

The sprawling of Chinese shops from the nearby [[Chinatown, Bangkok|Chinatown]] are slowly encroaching on Phahurat, but South Asian restaurants and businesses still dominate the area. It is home to some of Bangkok's more unusual shopping sites, including the sprawling Sampheng Market ([[Saphan Han]]), [[The Old Siam Plaza]], and [[Nightingale–Olympic]], with the four-storey India Emporium.
