Gulf of Thailand Learning Park

The Gulf of Thailand Learning Park is an educational tower in Pak Nam that stands 180 meters tall, rising prominently above the surrounding area. The structure provides views of the Chao Phraya River and nearby coastal regions, with exhibition spaces on different levels that teach about maritime topics.

Construction of the tower began in the early 2010s and was completed in 2022 after a decade-long building process. The project reflected the broader development of Samut Prakan, which shifted from a traditional trading port into a modern center for industry and education.

The site shows how fishing and maritime work have shaped daily life in this coastal area for many generations. You can see through the exhibitions how these traditions continue to influence how people here connect with the water and their livelihoods.

The tower is open to visitors on most days of the week, with access to multiple viewing platforms and exhibition areas throughout the building. It is best to arrive early in the day if you want the clearest views and a more relaxed experience without crowds.

The building contains a ship simulator where visitors can explore navigation and operation techniques used in the Gulf of Thailand. This hands-on space lets you understand the practical skills that captains and crew members use daily in these busy waters.
