The bridge was royally named "Somdet Phra Pin Klao Bridge" in honor of King Pinklao, the second king in the reign of King Mongkut, as the area on the Phra Nakhon side of the bridge was once part of the Boromphiman Palace.

Rama VIII Bridge (Pass By)

On the 21st and 22nd of December each year, at dawn, the sun rises directly in line with the center of the road on the bridge's eastern side and directly in front of the royal monument. This alignment acts like a marker, indicating the elliptical, retrograde path of the sun when viewed in a two-dimensional plane, following ancient astronomical concepts.
