Sights

Wat Phra Samut Chedi

The district is named after the temple Phra Samut Chedi, which was built 1827/28 by king Buddha Loetla Nabhalai (Rama II) on an island in the Chao Phraya river - hence its popular name Phra Chedi Klang Nam (Chedi in the middle of the water). The island is now connected with the left river banks.

At the mouth of the Chao Phraya is the Chulachomklao Fort, which was built in 1893 and came into use only once during the Paknam crisis in the same year. The fort is now accessible to visitors. The HTMS Maeklong, a former training ship of the Royal Thai Navy, is another attraction in the park.

History

The district was created as a minor district (King Amphoe) on December 15, 1984 by splitting off five tambon from Mueang district.[1] It was upgraded to a full district on July 15, 1991.[2]

Administration

The district is subdivided into 5 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 42 villages (muban). There are two townships (thesaban tambon) - Phra Samut Chedi covers the whole tambon Pak Klong Bang Pla Kot, and Lae Fa Pha covers parts of tambon Laem Fa Pha and Nai Khlong Bang Pla Kot. There are further 4 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO), for each tambon except Pak Klong Bang Pla Kot which has no non-municipal area.
