Wichien Chodok Fort, Historic fort in Maha Chai, Thailand.
The fort stands at the strategic junction where Khlong Sanam Chai meets the Tha Chin River, featuring military architecture from the 1800s.
King Nangklao commissioned the construction of Wichien Chodok Fort in 1814 to protect the region from potential Annamese invasions during Anuwong's rebellion.
The fort represents traditional Thai military engineering principles through its position along waterways and structural design elements from the Rattanakosin period.
Visitors reach the fort through local transportation services from central Maha Chai, with regular operating hours and no entrance fees required.
The fort maintains its original defensive position at the canal intersection, demonstrating the strategic importance of water routes in Thai military history.
