Phra Sumen Fort is a historical fortress built in 1783 near the Chao Phraya River as part of Bangkok’s original defense line. With well-preserved octagonal architecture, turrets, and a white façade, it stands as a peaceful riverside spot to admire local life and scenic sunsets. The nearby Santichaiprakarn Park offers a relaxing green space and a chance to watch boats glide along the river. Visitors can explore the fort’s small exhibition, learn about its role in protecting the city, or simply enjoy the tranquil surroundings. Located near Khao San Road and the bustling Banglamphu area, it’s easily accessible by bus or tuk-tuk. Dress modestly and bring water, especially on hot days.
