Explore the Riverside Charm of Santichaiprakarn Park
Santichaiprakarn Park is a unique green area located in Bangkok, Thailand, offering both relaxation and entertainment.
Originally the site of a sugar factory, the park was transformed into a public space. It features the Phra Sumen Fort, built in 1783 as a defensive structure against river invasions. This fortification, one of only two that remain today, is an octagonal brick-and-stucco design that represents significant historical value and showcases architectural finesse.
