Amphawa (Thai: อัมพวา, pronounced [ʔām.pʰā.wāː]) is a district (amphoe) of Samut Songkhram province, at the northwestern tip of the Bay of Bangkok (upper Gulf of Thailand).

[2] In 1766, the later King Buddha Loetla Nabhalai (Rama II) was born in the area, as his father was serving as governor of Ratchaburi at that time.

At his birthplace is now a memorial park with four buildings in the traditional style of that area, displaying art as well as lifestyle of that time.

There are also ten subdistrict administrative organizations - SAO (ongkan borihan suan tambon - o bo to).

The building is an outrageous mix of Thai traditional and neoclassical, reminiscent of high society during the late-19th and early-20th centuries.

It was built by a wealthy Thai gemstone dealer and designer, Chuchai Chairitthilert, who was bewitched by Amphawa.

It is arranged in the ethnology style, representing the artifacts in the early of Rattanakosin era that reflects the characteristic of the art and culture, the livelihood, and the living of Thais in the period of King Buddha Loetla Nabhalai.

On the wall, it says "On a Sunday in May in 1173 Chula Sakarat, Chao Phraya Surasak (Governor Samuhapraklaopm) and wife built this temple".

[10] In addition, communities around the temples surrounded by Khlong Bangkae are also an agricultural and cultural tourism destination.
