  "story": "Photographs of 1877 show raft-style wooden houses along it; by 2001 one was left. In 1889–90 Chinese merchants from the east bank put up masonry shophouses; the railway's arrival in 1921 made it the commercial street, and most of the surviving heritage houses date from then. After 1962 came commercial blocks of every height. The cables went underground in 2004, which is when the walking street moved off it to Ratchadamnoen.\n\nIn October 2024 the Ping came over the bank and the road flooded from the bridge to the Krung Thai bank.\n\n*Inference —* Tha Phae is the one street in the city whose whole biography is on record, and it reads as a list of things arriving from the east: the river trade, the Chinese, the train, the water."
