Phahon Yothin highway (Thailand highway route TNR|1, Thai: ถนนพหลโยธิน, also Phahon Yothin Rd) begins at Victory Monument in Bangkok heading towards northern Thailand. It is also a major urban surface road in Bangkok before becoming a "highway", in fact, the Thai name is simply "Phahon Yothin Road".
