Sights: Fort Phra Chulachomklao | Samut Prakan

During these events, King Rama V ordered the construction of fortifications along the river to prevent invasion. One of these fortifications was Fort Laem Pha Pha, also known as Fort Phra Chula. Seven Tiger Cannons were installed there, which were used to attack a French pilot boat that had entered Thai waters. One of the boats was sunk, which ultimately led to the settlement of the territorial dispute on the left bank of the Mekong.

Visit and pay your respects to the royal monument of King Chulalongkorn, depicted in the uniform of a naval commander. Those interested in the history of this significant event can visit the museum and learn more about Fort Phra Chulachomklao and the events of the Rattanakosin era in 112 AD.

There is also the HTMS Mae Klong Museum, which exhibits the decommissioned warship of the Royal Thai Navy, which served for over 60 years. In addition, there is an open-air weapons museum and a nature trail.
