Description: |
|
Located in Tambon Maha Chai, 200 metres from City Hall. It was
constructed in 1828 during the reign of King Rama III because in
that period, there was a conflict with the Vietnamese on Chao
Anuwong of Vientiane. King Rama III was concerned that the
Vietnamese might invade Thailand. Therefore, he commanded Phraya
Choduek Ratchasetthi (Thongchin) to be the leader in the
construction of a fortress protecting the mouth of the Tha Chin
River in Samut Sakhon and called it “Pom Wichian Chodok”. The
fortress was made of bricks and cement with no guarding station,
but fighting ones, while at the opening in the wall laid the
cannons preventing the enemies coming through the mouth of the
river. |
