Sam Liam Din Daeng

Sam Liam Din Daeng or Din Daeng Junction (Thai: สามเหลี่ยมดินแดง, แยกดินแดง) is a road junction in the area of Thanon Phaya Thai Subdistrict, Ratchathewi District in downtown Bangkok. It is a three-way junction of Ratchawithi Road, Ratchaprarop Road and Din Daeng Road, being considered the beginning of the former two. The name of the junction refers to its triangular shape (sam liam, สามเหลี่ยม is Thai for triangle). On top of the junction is an overpass linking Ratchawithi Road and the nearby Victory Monument zone.

It is often confused with the similarly-named next junction, Tai Duan Din Daeng Junction (Thai: แยกใต้ด่วนดินแดง) in Din Daeng District, where Din Daeng Road meets Vibhavadi Rangsit Road. Tai Duan Din Daeng features both an overpass and a tunnel.

Sam Liam Din Daeng is usually one of the areas with the highest amount of traffic violations in Bangkok. in May 2018, CCTV was installed here along with other 14 intersections where traffic violations were high. On the second day after the installation, there were 3,524 offenders.[1][importance?]
