Pom Wichian Chodok, Samut Sakhon

Pom Wichian Chodok is an old fort at the meeting point of Khlong Mahachai with Tha Chin River in Samut Sakhon, Thailand. Located near the City Pillar Shrine of Samut Sakhon, Pom Wichian Chodok was built in 1827 during the reign of King Rama III. The purpose of the fort was to prevent invasion due to conflict with the Vietnamese over Vientiane.

Pom Wichian Chodok, now in ruins, was built of bricks and cement. At the opening in the walls are cannon pointing in the direction of the river mouth.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
