Samut Prakan Province in Thailand

Places of Interest in Samut Prakan

We have always welcomed visitors from overseas to our province and school. We not only have some interesting tourist attractions in our area but you might also be fascinated to look around our school (the location of the school is marked with an x on the map below). For further information, please contact Khun Seesagoon Krishanachinda, the principal at Sriwittayapaknam School (the school's name is pronounced see-wit-ta-ya-pak-nam).

Samut Prakan is about 30 kms south of Bangkok. Many tourists come to our province on day trips from Bangkok to visit the Ancient City and Crocodile Farm. If you are coming by car, take the expressway to Samrong-Samut Prakan and turn left at Samut Prakan intersection on to the old Sukhumwit Road. This road passes through Samrong first before reaching Paknam, the old name for our city. Some landmarks along this road on the left include a giant three-headed elephant and a Naval Museum with a sea plane and submarine on the main lawn. Finally, you will see a big clock tower on your right and many buildings with red roofs - this is the civic centre for our city and province.

If you are coming by public transport, take ordinary bus No. 25 or air-conditioned bus No. 11 which run between central Bangkok and Paknam (a.k.a. Samut Prakan). You might also like to take the Sky Train as far as On Nut then a taxi for the remaining 12 kms.

Please visit the Sriwittayapaknam School web site.
