Phra Sumen Fort is one of the fourteen medieval forts that used to guard Bangkok. It is located at the entrance to Khlong Bang Lamphu from the Chao Phraya River.

Phra Sumen Fort is built in two levels. At the centre is an octagonal observation tower. Many of the cannons of the fort are still in place. In the year 2000, the grounds surrounding the fort was turned into a park called Santichaiprakarn Park.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
