Samut Prakan Province, Bhumibol Bridge, formerly the Industrial Ring Road Bridge, Thailand. ( 4 )
Samut Prakan is one of the central provinces of Thailand, established by the Act Establishing Changwat Samut Prakan, Changwat Nonthaburi, Changwat Samut Sakhon and Changwat Nakhon Nayok, Buddhist Era 2489 ( 1946 ), which came into force as from 9 March 1946.

Phra Pradeang ( a district in Samut Prakan ) was the original centre of the area south of Bangkok near the mouth of the Chao Phraya river. Originally named Nakhon Khuan Khan it was settled by Mon. In 1815, King Rama II built the Pom Phlaeng Faifa fort at the river bend. The fort is now located in a small park and accessible for visitors. In 1819 the new town Samut Prakan (or Paknam) was established. Due to the economic problems in the early 1930's several administrative entities were abolished, including Phra Pradaeng province which had its districts were assigned to Samut Prakan and Thonburi effective April 1, 1932. A 2 km tramway across the neck of the huge Phra Pradaeng river bend opened in 1908 and closed around 1940. Operated by a private company, the motorised trams connected with motorboat services to Bangkok and to Paknam at each end of the line. The tram cut a considerable time off the up and down river journey by avoiding the long river bend.
