Phet Fort, Military fort in Ho Rattanachai, Thailand.
The fort stands at the intersection of Pa Sak and Lopburi Rivers, featuring thick brick walls and strategic positioning for harbor defense.
Built during King Maha Chakkraphat's reign between 1548 and 1569, the fortress protected foreign ships' entry point and withstood the Burmese siege of 1767.
The fort represents Thai military engineering of the 16th century, combining local construction methods with Portuguese architectural influences in its circular design.
Located at coordinates 14.346198, 100.576526, the fort maintains sixteen large cannon positions on the ground floor and observation points above.
French engineer La Mare transformed the original circular structure into a rectangular shape in 1685, adapting it to new military requirements.
