If you are looking for a secret historical location in the heart of Khlong San area, "sookjai weekend" would like to introduce everyone to Pom Pong Pachamit Fort, an ancient fort that stands majestically behind the Khlong San District Office. This place is a valuable trace of the past that reflects the city's defense in the past, and importantly, it is the only fort remaining in Thonburi from the forts built during the reign of King Rama IV to protect the city along the Chao Phraya River.
The highlight that makes us want to check in is the ancient wall that remains strong and the ancient "signal flagpole". In the past, this flagpole was very important because it was used to raise flags to signal merchant ships traveling to trade in Siam. The atmosphere around the fort is very peaceful and shady. It is a photo spot that gives a vintage feel contrasting with the modernity of the high-rise buildings in the Khlong San area. History buffs and street photographers should not miss the opportunity to capture impressive images here.
This weekend, anyone who stops by ICONSIAM or takes the Gold Line train to Khlong San Station, try walking a little further to experience the sacredness of Pom Pong Pachamit Fort. You will see new perspectives of the Khlong San area that are full of stories and fascinating charm. We guarantee that your weekend will be full of impressions. Then come and discover good travel locations like this again at "sookjai weekend" in the next episode.
