Santi Chai Prakan Park and Phra Sumen Fort in Bangkok - Thailand 4K Travel Channel
The Santi Chai Prakan Park and the Phra Sumen Fort are in the Phra Arthit Road, near the Rama-VIII bridge on the shore of the Chao Phraya. From Khao San Road it's an about five-minute walk. The nearest express boat pier is Tha Phra Athit (No 13).
The park was transformed from an abandoned space of a sugar factory and completed 1999. King Rama IX named it Santi Chai Prakan Park, meaning The park with a fort that symbolized the victory of peacefulness.
The Santi Chai Prakan mansion, built as a wooden Thai-style pavilion, was built to celebrate the 60th birthday of King Rama IX (King Bhumipol) on the 5th of December 1999.
The Santi Chai Prakan Park is of great popularity and an oasis of the quiet in this lively city. Besides a wonderful view of the Chao Phraya River, you find beautiful tropical trees, like the more than 100 years old Lam Phu Tree.
On the southwestern edge of the park is a beautiful relief, which originally belonged to a monastery.
The Phra Sumen Fort is at the northeastern end of the park. Built in 1783 by King Rama I, it was one of 14 forts to defend the new capital against invasion.
It was made from bricks coated with cement in octagon-shape and is 10.5 m heigh. The size from the northern side to the southern side is 45 meters wide. In the middle of the fort, there are 38 rooms for ammunition and weaponry.
With the modernization of Bangkok, the old city fortifications were no longer needed and most of them gradually fell into disrepair or were demolished. Today, Phra Sumen Fort and Mahakan Fort are the only still standing. In 1949, Phra Sumen Fort became as National Monument and was renovated in 1981.
In 2015 it was renovated again. Equipped with the original guns, it shines in new splendor.

Der Santi Chai Prakan Park und das Phra Sumen Fort liegen an Phra Athit Road, nahe der Rama-VIII-Brücke am Ufer des Chao Phraya. Von der Khao San Road sind es etwa 5 Gehminuten. Die nächste Express Boot Anlegestelle ist Tha Phra Athit (Nr. 13).
Der Park entstand auf dem ehemaligen Gelände einer Zuckerfabrik. Er wurde 1999 fertiggestellt. König Rama IX nannte ihn Santi Chai Prakan Park, was bedeutet, Der Park mit einer Festung, der den Sieg der Friedlichkeit symbolisiert.
Das Santi Chai Prakan Pavillon, ein komplett aus Holz gebauter Pavillon im Thai-Stil Thai-Stil, wurde anlässlich des 60. Geburtstag von König Rama IX (König Bhumipol) 5. Dezember 1999 errichtet.
Die Santi Chai Prakan Park ist von großer Beliebtheit und gilt als eine Oase der Ruhe in dieser belebten Stadt. Neben einem wunderschönen Blick auf den Chao Phraya, gibt es im Park schöne tropische Bäumen, wie z.B einen mehr als 100 Jahre alten Lam Phu Baum.
Am südwestlichen Rand des Parks befindet sich ein wunderschönes Relief, das ursprünglich wohl zu einem Kloster gehörte.
Am nordöstlichen Ende des Parks befindet sich das Phra Sumen Fort. Es war eins von ursprünglich 14 Forts, die König Rama I. im Jahre 1783 zum Schutz der neuen Hauptstadt erbaut lies.
Es wurde in achteckiger Form aus Ziegeln mit Zement erbaut und ist 10,5 m hoch. Von der nördlichen zur südlichen Seite ist es 45 Meter breit. In der Mitte des Forts gibt es 38 Zimmer für Munition und Waffen.
Mit der Modernisierung von Bangkok wurden die alten Stadtbefestigungen nicht mehr benötigt und viele von ihnen wurden allmählich dem Verfall freigegeben oder abgerissen. Heute sind nur noch das dem Phra Sumen Fort und das Mahakan Fort erhalten. 1949 wurde das Phra Sumen Fort zum nationales Denkmal erklärt und 1981 renoviert.
2015 erhielt das Fort einen neuen Anstrich und ausgestattet mit den Originalkanonen erstrahlt es nun in frischem Glanz.

Phra Sumen Fort to Khaosan Road and Back to Phra Arthit Pier | Bangkok, Thailand
Phra Sumen Fort in Bangkok, Thailand
Phra Sumen Fort is the only one left of the original forts along the river in Bangkok. Besides its historical value, the octagonal-shaped three-level structure with its snow-white walls is one of Bangkok's recognized landmarks.
Built in the late 18th century, these forts and the surrounding walls protected the just-founded city against the looming Burmese threat during the reign of King Rama I. Previously, the Burmese sacked and burned the former capital, Ayutthaya; adequate protection was therefore crucial.
After the Burmese were beaten back, peaceful times followed. With the exception of a brief incursion by French gunboats up the Chao Phraya, potential outside enemy advances were warded off by clever diplomacy rather than by military force.
The forts fell out of use and perished one by one. Phra Sumeru only remained because it was chosen to be turned into a tourist attraction. It was renovated in 1982, on the bicentennial anniversary of Bangkok's foundation. The renovation is said to be based on the latest photograph of the fort, taken in the reign of King Rama V, so most architectural features are reliably authentic.
However, later additions for bureaucratic purposes somewhat distort the site. We refer to the Santichai Prakarn Park in particular -- a place built to honour the King's 72nd (6th cycle) birthday. Thanks to the new addition, the place is now a popular hangout for college romantics, picknickers, jamming street musicians, beggars, con artist, jugglers and other human floatsam.
Nevertheless, the Phra Sumeru Fort is still worth a visit. Besides its historical value, the octagonal-shaped three-level structure with its snow-white walls is one of Bangkok's recognized landmarks.
