Amphoe Mueang Samut Prakan is the capital district of Samut Prakan province in Thailand. The district has the highest population of all districts of Thailand.
[edit] Tourist attractions
Two major tourist attractions of the province are located in the capital district.
In Tambon Bang Pu Mai is Mueang Boran or Ancient City, a park that features downscaled replicas of all major historical buildings of Thailand. It was used as a set for some scenes in the film Two Brothers.
The other popular tourist draw is the Crocodile Farm in Tambon Tai Ban.
[edit] Administration
The district is subdivided into 13 communes (tambon), including the city center of Samut Prakan in Tambon Paknam. The missing geocodes in the table are the tambon which were split off at the creation of Amphoe Phra Samut Chedi.
