ancient fort, very peaceful surrounding. The fortifications of Bangkok consist of several series of defensive structures built to protect the city during the late Ayutthaya to early Rattanakosin periods. The earliest structures were built when Bangkok was an outpost of Ayutthaya guarding entry to the Chao Phraya River during the 15th–16th centuries. These were reinforced when the city became the site of the short-lived capital of Thonburi after the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767. New walls and forts were built when the city of Rattanakosin replaced Thonburi in 1782, which were mostly removed and replaced in the second half of the 19th century in order to accommodate the expanding city. Today, four of the city's defensive forts remain, along with two short sections of the Rattanakosin city wall and one of the city gates.

A beautiful well preserved fort with cannons in an enviable riverside park with magnificent views of the elegant Rama VIII bridge. The park has old ficus(peepal) and banyan trees, considered holy in Buddhism, expansive lush green, manicured lawns, a jogging and walking track, benches for sitting and interesting multi-level landscaping with steps, creating mini-ampitheaters for performances. It's a well-used, much-frequented public space in the congested Khaosan/Banglamphu area, close to some expensive riverside hotels and restaurants.

Phra Sumen Fort is just a white fort, nothing more to say about it. But the small park around the fort is a nice place to take a rest, to relax after too much walking - "walk, walk, walk", like my wife describes our day trips - and just to look at the river. Bangkok busyness with its all too many cars and traffic jams can be a stressing place, so it's good that there are parks there and there in Bangkok to spend some time to get back your curiousity, and after that, let's walk again...

This is one of the best places in Thailand around khosan road. It has no entrance and the place is amazing. Peaceful and beautiful park. You can sit for sometimes doing your things and thinking about the plan what to do in Thailand. It’s really wonderful place. The fort has different weapons and it shows how they were kept the city in ancient times. And it’s very close to the river and it has a great view with that. I recommend this place to anyone stays around khosan road.

Phra Sumen Fort is just a white fort, nothing more to say about it. But the small public park around the fort is a nice place to take a rest, to relax after long marathon day of walking. Beside the fort along with riverside just next to the picturesque park, numerous places to take a rest, have a cool drink and enjoy the moment. Oh wait, the Rama VIII bridge is the nice spot one for you to enjoy your day ; especially if you were here at night time.

Located within Santi Chai Prakan Public Park Suan Santichai Prakan สวนสาธารณะสันติชัยปราการ สวนสันติชัยปราการ While not the biggest of parks it is well kept and tidy. If you are in the area its nice to go in for a stroll and to relax. There are nice riverside views to be enjoyed and views of the rather impressive Rama VIII Bridge สะพานพระราม 8. The fort itself has been painted and looks well kept. You cant go inside but its still good to see.
