Phra Samut Chedi, Administrative district in Samut Prakan, Thailand.
Phra Samut Chedi is an administrative district on the western side of Samut Prakan province that stretches along the Chao Phraya River. The area consists of several sub-districts with a mix of urban and rural land use.
The area gained its status as a separate district in 1984 when it split from a larger administrative area and underwent additional formal changes afterward. This reorganization was part of broader administrative reforms in the region.
Fishing remains central to how people here make their living, with traditional methods passed down through generations along the river. This heritage shapes the daily rhythm of the community.
The district is accessible from Bangkok through several transportation routes, with the administrative center located in a specific sub-district. Visitors should note that accessibility to certain areas may vary depending on weather conditions.
The coastline here undergoes continuous change through erosion and sedimentation, significantly altering the physical landscape over time. This natural process makes the area an interesting example of the forces that shape river deltas.
