Saphan Khwai (Thai: สะพานควาย, pronounced [sā.pʰāːn kʰwāːj]) is intersection and neighbourhood on overlapped area of Phaya Thai and Sam Sen Nai Subdistricts, Phaya Thai District, Bangkok, Thailand.
The surrounding neighbourhood is studded with many apartments and is best known for its many shops and markets. It is served by the BTS skytrain service at Saphan Khwai Station. From the 1960s, as the urban zone of Bangkok grew, the land which once had been countryside, mostly rice farms, became urbanized with more residential and commercial areas.
