This Fort is one of two remaining in Old Bangkok. There used to be 14 Forts. During the reign of King Rama 1, these Forts were built as a defence against the approaching Burmese. The Burmese had already burnt the former capital "Ayutthaya" and they didn't want it to happen again. Next to it is Banglamphoo Canal. Canals were built as a defensive to protect the old city and were built in 1782, the Fort in 1783. The Fort has two levels, one being a lookout tower, and the other where the Cannons are, they are still there for you to see. Directions: Take a short walk to Phra Athit Road and turn left

The fort is next to Santchaiprakan Park overlooking the Chao Phraya River not far from Phra Artit pier and Khaosan Road. If you get a chance Phra Sumen fort looks very good lit up at night. Leave a Comment Directions: Take a short walk to Phra Athit Road and turn left
