fortification, interesting place
An old fortress at the junction of the Chao Phraya and Pa Sak rivers. Also known as Pom Phet.
Foreign trade vessels were required to anchor under the guns of the fortress while conducting business in the capital. Records tell of so many ships at anchor that one could walk across the river just going from ship to ship.
