Tha Chalom

It was founded by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) in 1905 after he saw the filth of Nakhon Khuan Khan (now Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakan Province) and compare that "dirty as Mahachai market".

[1] Tha Chalom in the reign of King Chulalongkorn was the capital of the province and more prosperous than Mahachai side.

Its terrain is the pig stomach-shaped of land formed by a sharp meander in Tha Chin River.

[6] The main watercourse of Samut Sakhon, Tha Chin River that originated in Chainat Province flows into the Gulf of Thailand here.

Presently, Tha Chalom residents still preserve their traditional way of life, old buildings with chic graffiti can still be seen on the streets.
