[edit] History
The district was created in 1993, when the eastern part of Phaya Thai was split off to form a new district.
The district is highly populated partly due to the concentration of apartments built for people by National Housing Authority. They are located along Din Daeng Road and Pracha Songkhro Road.

- Fortune Town, an IT shopping center
[edit] Transportation
The Bangkok Metro passes along Din Daeng eastern border (touching Huai Khwang) with five stations: Phra Ram 9, Thailand Cultural Centre, Huai Khwang, Sutthisan, and Ratchadaphisek.
[edit] Administration
The district is sub-divided into one sub-district (Kwaeng).
