Samut Sakhon Thailand
Samut Sakhon was formerly called “Tha Chin”
probably because, in the old days, it had been a trading
port dealing with a vast number of Chinese junks. In
1548, a town named “Sakhon Buri” was established
at the mouth of the Tha Chin River. It was a centre
for recruiting troops from various seaside towns. The
name of the town was changed into "Mahachai"
when Khlong (canal) Mahachai was dug in 1704 to join
the Tha Chin River at the town. Later, the town was
renamed “Samut Sakhon” by King Rama IV but
it is still popularly called "Mahachai" by
the villagers.
Samut Sakhon is located 30 kms. from Bangkok. The province
occupies a total area of 872 square kilometres and is
administratively divided into 3 districts: Muang Samut
Sakhon, Krathum Baen, and Ban Phaeo. It is a major fishing
port and also the biggest producer of brine salt.
