On an island on the Chao Phraya River in Samut Prakan, there is a 100 year old fortress called Phi Sua Samut Fort. It was built in order to protect the approach to Bangkok which is further upriver. The only skirmish that the three Armstrong guns have taken part in was the Paknam Incident of 1893 when Samut Prakan forts fired upon two French ships. (Richard Barrow/ThaiPhotoBlogs.com)
