Pu Chao Saming Phrai Fort, Defensive fort in Bang Ya Phraek, Thailand.
The fort stands near the Chao Phraya River with stone walls designed to control maritime traffic and protect the surrounding territory.
Established in 1814 during King Rama II's reign, this military structure formed part of Thailand's defensive network against potential naval threats.
The fort carries the name of a protective figure from Thai folklore, reflecting the integration of military architecture with local traditions.
Visitors can reach the fort from Bangkok by taking the BTS Skytrain to Samrong station and continuing with a short taxi ride.
The fort maintains its original structural elements while integrating into the modern urban landscape of the Bangkok Metropolitan Region.
