📚 From the encyclopedia
Phra Chulachomklao Fort (ป้อมพระจุลจอมเกล้า; also known as "Phra Chun Fort") is a water fortress in a sub-district of Laem Fa Pha, Phra Samut Chedi District, Samut Prakan Province. With no evidence of the date, approximately in March 1884, King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V) built this fort to protect the enemy from England and France. The King Rama V built this fort as a western artillery turret, which contained 7 153/32 mm Armstrong cannons, nicknamed a 'crouching tiger cannon,' which were the major weapons of this fort, making the fort the most modern in those days. King Rama V, besides the idea of building this fortification, also came to test-fire a crouching tiger cannon by himself on May 28, 1893, this fort was used to fire against French warships in the Paknam Incident. At present, Phra Chulachomklao Fort is under the supervision of the Bangkok Naval Base and built a statue of King Rama V in 1993 to commemorate the virtues of King Rama V, and the Royal Thai Navy has also organized a museum open to the public. For this reason, they considered this fort as another important tourist attraction in Samut Prakan Province.
