Description: |
|
Samut Prakan province tends to be thought of merely as the “area
south of Bangkok” by those unfamiliar with it, but the province
is home to locals who take much pride in their land. Samut
prakan means “ocean fortress” in Thai, and this area of the Chao
Phraya was once lined with military embankments ready to repel
anyone trying to invade the Thai capital by boat.
In
1893, French ships barrelled their way through Thai defenses
during the so-called Pak Nam incident, which effectively won the
the Franco-Siamese War for the French and led to Chanthaburi and
Trat provinces temporarily falling into French hands. Today, the
war ships and canons have been replaced by ocean-liners
transporting tons of freight to and from Bangkok. |
