It's a short road in the style of boulevard but runs through many important places of Thailand.

Later the King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) gave new name "Uthong Road" like today. The name honours one of members of the Siamese royal family Princess Nibha Nobhadol, Princess of Uthong, who is one of King Chulalongkorn's daughters .It's divided into two lines, Uthong Nai Road (ถนนอู่ทองใน; Inner Uthong Road) starting from the Royal Plaza toward northeast through many places viz Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall and Memorial Crowns of the Auspice, Dusit Zoo, Parliament House of Thailand until ends at Uthong Nai Junction, which is linking point with Ratchawithi road near Vimanmek Mansion, and Uthong Nok Road (ถนนอู่ทองนอก; Outer Uthong Road) begins from Royal Plaza runs northwest and cut-off with Nakhon Ratchasima road at Uthong Nok Junction where are location of Sukhothai Palace, Suan Kularb Palace and Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University until ends at Samsen road opposite the National Library and Royal Pier, Thavasuki.
