I stayed nearby and met some locals I hung out with for some days. We would always meet up in front of the park, on the other side of the street (so we could smoke and have a beer, that's not allowed inside or near the park gate). Has a bathroom in the park. Sadly you can't go inside but, even now, I wish I could take a short walk down my own town road and see this every day.

Cool place to chill and vibe, good location to eat your lunch. Be respectful and dont drink or smoke while on the grounds. If your feeling hot and moist then the benches near the river are a good place to catch a breeze.

A fort that used to protect the old city from invaders during the early days of Bangkok. There are a few cannons left over from the old days.
Nearby is the Chao Phraya River where you can take a river cruise, if you want to.

The park behind the fort is very nice with stunning view to Rama VIII bridge. Many seatings by the river and a public toilet nearby. Big bats flying around tall trees make it a memorable experience.

Phra Sumen Fort is one of 14 forts built during the reign of King Rama I and is currently one of only two remaining forts. It holds great historical value among Thai people.

This old fortress is surrounded by a beautiful park, but unfortunately, activities like picnicking or walking pets are no longer allowed. It’s a bit sad—when I was younger, people used to come here for all sorts of activities, and it felt much more lively. But I do understand the need to protect and preserve the heritage. Maybe not everyone treated the space with the care it deserved.

It is surrounded by a park. I don’t think anyone can enter. Nice to walk around it in the day to take nice photos of it
