This is the last walking route which is the shortest route. The route starts from Suan Kularb school on Tri Petch road and continue walking northward across the intersection. Then turn left to see Wat Thipwari and turn left again along Ban Mob road. Walk southward until Ban Mob road meets Chakkrapetch road and turn left and left again to Mahachai road. Then turn left for the last time to Pahurat road. This route is 2.1 kilometres long and it takes less than one hour to finish.

The name Suan Kularb means rose garden. It was given such name because in 1881 the school was located in the precinct of the Grand Palace in the area called Suan Kularb. The school was relocated to the present location in 1887 and the oblong-shaped building confronting Tri Petch road was built in 1910. It has been the symbol of Suan Kularb school for a long time. This building expresses not only a beautiful architecture but also the symbolic meaning of modern education in Thailand introduced in the Fifth reign.

This temple was a small temple built in the late Ayutthaya period. The temple has become one of the Royal monasteries since the First reign (1782-1809). During World War II in 1945, significant buildings and objects in the temple were damaged by airbombs. Later, the temple was reconstructed and become an important temple of Rattanakosin once again.

Phra Buddhayodfa (King Rama I) Bridge was built in 1932 on the occasion of the 150th Rattanakosin anniversary. King Rama VII built this bridge across the Chao Phraya River to connect Phra Nakorn side (the east bank) with Thonburi (the west bank). A memorial of King Rama I was also created on the east bank. This bridge is the second bridge built across Chao Phraya River. The first bridge is a railway bridge, built in 1922 and called Rama VI Bridge.

Two styles of chophouses are found in this area. The first style is similar to those found in Ban Mob area, that is, having a sloped roof and delicate treatment on transom. The second style is simpler, that is, without sophisticated decorative. Both types of chophouses are supposed to be built in different period but not later than during the Seventh reign (1925-1934).

These chophouses are assumed to be built in the Seventh reign (1925-1934) for they have different structure and decoration from those chophouses built during the former periods.

The chophouses in Sol Sapan put have no sloped roof but deck roof with concrete parapet. They have simple wall and window treatment. Originally, there were 3 storeys but most units have been added up to 4 storeys. However, the original structure and architectural elements are still found in good condition.

Ban Mob is an old place where traditional cooking pot ("Mob" means pot) used to be manufactured. The Shophouses were built later and the area has been famous for jewelry shops until now. But lately, number of jewelry shops becomes smaller while the number of electrical appliances shops increases.

Nowadays, old chophouses are still found in the area. The interesting thing is that the chophouse unit at the entrance of an old market has a plaster pot placed on the top of pediment to represent the original activity of the area.

On the top floors were the exclusive area of high cost residential units.
