Wat Phra Samut Chedi

Lined on the Chao Phraya River's bank in the area of Pak Khlong Bang Pla Ko Sub-district, near Phisuea Samut Fortress and Chulachomklao Fort, which was built to protect the mouth of the Chao Phraya River and played an important role during the "Paknam Incident" (July 1893) in the King Rama V's reign.

The stūpa was once settled on an island surrounded by the waterway before the water level decreased that it later connected to the mainland.

Hence the name "Phra Samut Chedi", which means "ocean stūpa temple".

[1] On the 5th day of the waning moon of the 11th month of every year (around October), there will be a stūpa worship ceremony.

This is the biggest temple fair in Samut Prakan and the one greatest traditions in the province.
