Bang Khonthi district

Bang Konthi (Thai: บางคนที, pronounced [bāːŋ kʰōn.tʰīː]) is a district (amphoe) of Samut Songkhram province.

Khai Bang Kung is a former river fort, which was of great importance during the late Ayutthaya and Thonburi periods.

After being deserted for almost 200 years, a Boy Scout camp was established at the site in 1967, and a shrine was built commemorating King Taksin.

The main Buddha figure in the Ubosot (ordination hall) is called Luang Pho Toa.

It consists of a laterite core covered with plaster and gilded, and is in the style of the Sukhothai period.
