Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Bang Phli (Samut Prakan province), Bang Na, Phra Khanong, Suan Luang, Bang Kapi, Saphan Sung and Lat Krabang (Bangkok). The district is best known for Paradise Park, Paradise Place, Seacon Square shopping malls; Srinagarindra Train Night Market; as well as Suan Luang Rama IX public park.
History
Prawet was once part of Phra Khanong District. Prawet was elevated to become a separate district in 1989. Part of Prawet, especially the Suan Luang Sub-district, was carved out to establish Suan Luang District on 14 January 1994.
Its name after Khlong Prawet Burirom, a canal that flows through the northern area.
In October 2005 the plan to create the special administrative area Nakhon Suvarnabhumi around the new Bangkok airport became public. Prawet was supposed to be one of five districts to be included in this new area.
Administration
The district is sub-divided into three sub-districts (khwaeng).
