Description: |
|
Fort Plaeng Faifah is located near Phra Pradaeng Market in
Tambon Talard, Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakan. It is a
fort of Nakhon Khuean Khan that was once a naval base on the
Chao Phraya River estuary. The fort was built in the reign of
Rama II on the right side of the Chao Phraya River. There were
many forts located on the right side of the river - Fort
Manasungharn, Fort Rahujorn, Fort Pisad Sing, and Fort
Vidhayakom - but only Fort Plaeng Faifah remains today.
In 1893, King Rama V ordered a restoration of Fort Plaeng Faifah
to be in a usable condition and Phra Pradaeng City Council also
renovated the fort again in 1971 for public use. Old canons are
placed in the area around the fort as well as a gazebo and lots
of trees planted.
Fort Plaeng Faifah is surrounded by 4
walls on 4 directions – North, South, East and West. The wall on
the South is different because it has double walls to prevent
the bullets. The entrance is on the Northwest and is still in a
perfect condition.
Inside the fort, there are
battlements to place cannons and a road to drag canons to the
battlements. All old surroundings could bring you the
imagination of all those fights against the enemies in the old
days.
If you have a chance to visit the area around Phra
Padaeng Market in Samut Prakan, don't forget to stop by at this
fort to have some rest.
To get here: From Phra Pladaeng
T-junction (Suksawat Road), turn left to Phra Pladaeng Market.
You can park in Phra Pladaeng District Office. You can also use
buses no. 82 (BMTA) or no.6 and stop at Phra Pladaeng Market bus
stop.
