Samut Prakan
สมุทรปราการ
Samut Prakan is where the Chao Phraya River meets the Gulf of Thailand and where most international visitors first touch down at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Despite heavy industrialization and urban density, the province preserves the Ancient City (Muang Boran), the world's largest open-air museum, which recreates Thailand's most important monuments and temples across 200 acres. The Erawan Museum with its massive three-headed elephant sculpture and the Bang Pu seaside promenade, famous for migratory seagulls, offer unexpected attractions near the capital.
