Phra Pradaeng, Administrative district in Samut Prakan, Thailand

The district extends across 73.37 square kilometers near the Chao Phraya River mouth, containing 15 sub-districts and 67 villages within its boundaries.

The territory, formerly known as Nakhon Khuean Khan, gained strategic importance when King Rama II built Pom Phlaeng Faifa Fort in 1815.

The Mon people established the initial settlements in this region, forming communities that influenced local traditions and administrative structures.

The district connects to Bangkok through the Bhumipol 1 Bridge and maintains a network of water transportation services along the Chao Phraya River.

The Bang Nam Phueng Floating Market operates within the district, offering local products and traditional foods directly from vendor boats.
