Discover Samut Prakan: Top 7 Experiences You Can't Miss

7 Best Things to Do in Samut Prakan

1. Bike Around the Ancient City ❤️ Must Visit

The Ancient City is a massive 360-acre park filled with a ton of impressive replicas of all the popular Thailand landmarks from around the country, all located in one place for you to explore.

With the slogan, "Travel all of Thailand in one place", there are more than 120 attractions scattered around the 360-acre area. They claim it is one of the largest private outdoor museums in the world, and after spending more than 2 hours riding around the entire park, it definitely feels like it.

The park is divided into northern, southern, northeastern, and central regions connected to form the actual shape of Thailand itself, and all of the replicated architectures are also in the same location as the real thing on the map. It is actually quite impressive if you look at the map of the Ancient City park.

Within the Ancient City, there is a ton for you to see, and I mean A TON. To see all the 120+ landmarks, expect to spend at least 3 hours biking around the Ancient City and taking photos of all the stunning structures you stumble upon.

The landmarks ranged from the old ruins of the ancient city of Sukhothai and Ayuthaya to the impressive Pavilion of Enlightened that resembles a dragon's back. Despite them being replicas of the real thing, they are actually very impressive in and of themselves. These are not cheap knock-off tourist landmarks.

At the center of the park, you will also find a floating market where you can rest a bit from biking and indulge yourself in Thai street food and snacks by the water before continuing to explore other regions of the park.

Since there are tons of landmarks to see, to save you some time, I spent hours riding a bike around to see them all, and here are some of my favorite landmarks that you should definitely visit:

• The Pavilion of the Enlightened
• Fish Temple
• Sanphet Prasat
• Dusit Maha Prasat Palace
• Phra Viharn Temple
• The Great Hall of Vajradhamma
• Phra Buddhapada
• Phra Kaew Pavilion

The best time to visit the Ancient City is 3 hours before closing time, which is from 3 PM to 6 PM, as the sun won't be as strong by then and it should be much more comfortable to ride a bike around. There is not a whole lot of shade here, so if you are there mid-day, you are not going to enjoy the outdoor sights very much.

The Ancient City opens from 9 AM to 6 PM every day. The entry ticket is 700 THB for adult foreigners and 360 THB for kids, while the ticket will cost 400 THB for adult Thais and 200 THB for kids. Since the park is massive, you will also need to rent either a bike, which will cost you 150 THB per person, or you can take your car inside for 400 THB per car.

Mind you, the Ancient City is not a cheap tourist attraction to visit, but from what I saw, what they have managed to build here is extremely impressive and there is no other place like it. If you are looking for something different to do in Thailand that is unlike any other place, I think the entry fee is definitely worth every dime.

To get to the Ancient City, you can take the BTS sky train to Kheha BTS station and from there, you should be able to get a free shuttle bus provided by the establishment that will take you to the Ancient City in no time.

Where to Stay in Bangkok?

Since Samut Prakan is very close to Bangkok, I highly recommend that you find a place to stay in Bangkok and visit Samut Prakan as a day trip by using the BTS Sukhumvit Line. Here are some of the recommended places where you can stay in Bangkok:

2. Admire the Beauty of Erawan Museum 🏛️ Best Museum

The Erawan Museum is another impressive landmark you must not miss when you are in Samut Prakan. The museum is located inside the 43-meter-high gigantic 3-headed elephant statue, towering over the surrounding area that is impossible to miss.

Once you are inside, you will be blown away by the intricately designed interior of the statue. The Erawan Museum building is divided into three floors that represent the Universe from Hindu scripture. The most impressive floor of all is the second floor, which represents Earth.

Within the second floor, you will find a large hallway filled with precious antiques and art pieces with touches of Thai and European influences that cover the entirety of the hallway. You will be enchanted by all the colors and their unique beauty the moment you step foot on the second floor.

The ground floor is a representation of the underworld, where you will find all kinds of artifacts and collections of items with interesting histories that you can read up on.

The third floor is a representation of the cosmos or heaven, where you will find an altar with a Buddha image under a curved ceiling filled with stars and constellations to the brim.

You will also find several other points of interest around the Erawan Museum itself that you can explore. It should take you about an hour to see everything the museum has to offer before we move on to our next destination.

The Erawan Museum opens from 9 AM to 6 PM, and the admission fee for foreigners is 400 THB for adults and 200 THB for kids. For Thais, the fee is 250 THB for adults and 125 THB for kids.

You can get to the Erawan Museum by taking the BTS sky train and getting off at Chang Erawan BTS Station. Since the Erawan Museum is part of the same establishment as the Ancient City, you can also get to the Ancient City from the Erawan Museum with their free shuttle service.

3. Take a Boat to Phra Samut Chedi Temple

Phra Samut Chedi is an old pagoda built in the early 19th century, located right by the bank of the Chao Phraya River.

Back in the day, the chedi was actually built on a small island surrounded by the Chao Phraya River. However, due to the decrease in the water level of the Chao Phraya River over time, the temple has since been connected to the mainland. Nevertheless, you can still travel there by boat from Pak Nam district via the Pak Nam Market Ferry Pier.

The temple itself consists of the 38-meter-high old Chedi, painted in white, containing the Buddha's relics. It also includes an ordination hall with a Buddha image that one can pay respect to, as well as an old colonial-style building with an altar for Thai people to pay respect to the late King Rama IV.

The boat to cross from the Pak Nam Market Ferry Pier to Phra Samut Chedi Temple costs around 5.50 THB and it runs every 15 minutes. The journey should take about 5 minutes one way. Phra Samut Chedi Temple's opening hours are between 6 AM and 5 PM daily.

4. Explore Bang Krachao On A Bike

Another great place in Samut Prakan that can easily be reached via a boat straight from Bangkok is Bang Krachao, a small artificial island formed by a bend in the Chao Phraya River and a canal at its western end and it is considered to be the green lung of Bangkok, even though it lies within Samut Prakran province.

In Bang Krachao, you can rent a bike and explore Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park and Botanical Garden, an incredibly well-preserved green space with an abundance of trees and more than 100 bird species still residing in it.

Inside, you will find several walking/biking paths that lead deep into the forested area, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature right in the middle of the metropolis. There are pavilions, bridges, and a bird-watching tower dotting the large green space for you to explore.

It is one of the best places in Bangkok to visit for those who are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital city. The park is quite spacious with many points of interest, so expect to spend at least half a day here.

You can rent a bike right at the entrance of the Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park and Botanical Garden for 30/40/50 THB per day, depending on the condition of the bike. You will have to leave some form of ID, whether it be your passport or your local ID card, with the rental place, so be sure to have that on hand.

To get to Bang Krachao, the easiest way is to take the MRT metro and get off at Klong Toei MRT station. From there, you can either catch a taxi or walk for about 30 minutes to reach Wat Khlong Toei Nok Pier.

From the pier, you can catch the ferry to Bang Krachao for about 40 THB round trip on big boats or 20 THB round trip on small boats. The boat runs from 6 AM to 8 PM every day. The journey should take about 15 minutes, and upon arrival in Bang Krachao Pier, you can then rent a bike to ride to Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park and Botanical Garden. That's it. Easy peasy!

You can also go on an organized tour and explore Bang Krachao and other places with a local guide. If you are looking to slow a bit down in Bangkok and enjoy nature in solitude, a day trip to Bang Krachao is definitely for you.

5. Climb Up to the Top of Wat Asokaram

Wat Asokaram is another impressive temple in Samut Prakan that you should not miss. Constructed in 1962, Wat Asokaram is well-known for its lush surroundings and the impressive multi-tiered white pagoda called Phra Thutangkha Chedi.

Phra Thutangkha Chedi contains a group of 13 smaller pagodas, all spread out on each tier over 3 levels. You can spend some time climbing up to the top level and check out the view of the surrounding area.

The temple is really nice to visit and walk around, but be aware of the stray dogs here as many of them roam around the temple freely. Even though I didn't have any problems with them, they don't look very friendly or playful at all.

Wat Asokaram's opening hours are between 6 AM and 5 PM. At the pagoda, since it is all painted in white, it can be extremely hot, especially during midday. You won't find many shaded places to rest, so be sure to visit the temple when the sun is a little more bearable.

6. Eat Seafood at Sompong Seafood Restaurant 🥘 Best Place to Eat

Of course, if you come all the way to the Chao Phraya River Delta, which is the main source of all the fresh seafood you get in Bangkok, we have to eat fresh seafood straight from the source. One of the best seafood restaurants I highly recommend you try is the Sompong Seafood Restaurant.

Sompong Seafood Restaurant has been operating since 1996, and it is famous among the locals for its deliciously fresh seafood dishes, such as steamed mud crab, giant river prawn barbecue, and various fish served in different Thai seasonings that will make you drool.

They are, by no means, the cheapest place to eat seafood in Thailand, with many dishes costing more than 100 THB. However, they are fresh and cooked in a way that is familiar to Thai tongues.

They are not overly spicy like many other local places, which makes it perfect for families and travelers who are looking to taste the real Thai-style seafood. They also have several single dishes for solo travelers, such as myself, which cost as little as 80 THB, so there are some things for everyone here.

Sompong Seafood Restaurant opens from 9:30 AM to 9 PM, and you can check out their menu online here or visit their website for more information. If you are looking for a nice seafood restaurant, make sure to check them out when you are in Samut Prakan.

7. Watch the Sunset at Bang Pu Recreational Center

Last but not least, Bang Pu Recreational Center is a great place to watch the sunset by the sea and end your day trip in Samut Prakan. The recreational center is, in fact, located within a military base, but they have converted the area and the old Suk Ta Bridge pier into a public place for anyone to enjoy.

In the evening, you will often find many locals hanging out by the bridge, watching the sunset, and enjoying street food as they wind down for the day and retreat back to their homes after sundown.

If you are here from October to May, you will also experience the seasonal migration of more than 5,000 seagulls that have escaped the cold weather all the way from places in Central Asia and Siberia. They all fly to Bang Pu Recreational Center and chill out in a warm climate before heading back to their proper habitat in May.

I was there in June, so I didn't get to see the seagulls, but it was still a nice place to walk around in the evening. You can also spot other types of birds here, such as Herons and Godwits, lurking between the surrounding mangrove trees.

At the end of Suk Ta Bridge, you will also find a seafood restaurant called Sala Sukjai where you can dine while watching the waves crash against the mangrove trees. The food was so-so and quite expensive, but the view sure was something.

Both the Bang Pu Recreational Center and the Sala Sukjai Restaurant are open from 10 AM to 8 PM every day. If you are driving, be sure to enter from Sai 1 Road and do not go to the second entrance as suggested by Google Maps. That gate is closed, and you will only be allowed in from the main gate.

When to Visit Samut Prakan?

The best time to visit Samut Prakan is from November to January, when the weather is cooler and less humid than other months, making it much more enjoyable to explore Samut Prakan.

That said, Thailand has suffered a lot from air pollution in recent years due to the burning season, and it is extremely prevalent during Thailand's winter period (December - January). So, even though the weather is cooler, your visibility might not be the best. Be sure to buy a face mask if you decide to visit Thailand during this time.

March - April are the hottest and most humid periods of the year, so if you can't handle heat very well, avoid visiting during this time. The air quality may be somewhat better during this period, but it's not guaranteed.

All the other months are considered to be a rainy season, which, even though the weather is a little more manageable than the summer months, you will also be seeing a lot more rain, which might prevent you from enjoying the outdoors. Air quality during this time should be better due to the rain.

As you can see, the best time to visit Thailand used to be during its wintertime, BUT now that the air quality is getting worse and worse, you will have to decide which is more important to you as a traveler: good weather but bad air quality or vice versa.

How to Get to Samut Prakan?

Samut Prakan is located approximately 30 km away from Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. To reach Samut Prakan from your home country, you will first need to travel to Bangkok.

Thankfully, Bangkok is one of the largest hubs in the region, so you should have no trouble finding a flight from your home country to Suvarnabhumi International Airport.

From the US, unfortunately, there are no direct flights to Bangkok, so you will have to rely on transit flights by Emirates, Qatar, or Turkish Airlines from the East Coast or ANA Airlines or Korean Air from the West Coast.

From Europe, you can fly from the most popular European hubs like London, Paris, or Frankfurt via Thai Airways or local carriers like British Airways, Air France, or Lufthansa to Bangkok. You can also go with Etihad, Qatar, or Emirates if you don't mind transiting.

From within Asia, there are several low-cost airlines offering various routes from many hub cities like Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, and Jakarta to Bangkok. AirAsia is a great option as they have the most connections to Bangkok from all over Asia.

To find a cheap flight to Bangkok, I would recommend that you use Skyscanner or Expedia to look for the cheapest route and schedule so you can compare and pick the best one.

Getting From Bangkok to Samut Prakan

Since Samut Prakan is only 30 km away from Bangkok, the province has since been considered as part of the Greater Bangkok area that has spilled from the forever-growing border of the capital city as it continues to creep out and engulf all its neighboring provinces.

With that, comes the benefit of having access to mass transit systems like the BTS, which is one of the ways you can travel from Bangkok to Samut Prakan. Below are some of the ways you can easily travel from Bangkok to Samut Prakan.

By Sky Trains/Metros: Depending on where you are staying, you might need to use a combination of metros (MRT) and skytrains (BTS) to reach Samut Prakan.

If you are staying in the old town area, you will have to take the MRT first to Sukhumvit MRT Station and from there, take the BTS sky train to Chang Erawan for the Erawan Museum, and Kheha BTS Station, the final station of the BTS Sukhumvit Line, to reach Samut Prakan.

From Kheha BTS Station, you can then hail a cab to get to all the attractions I listed in this itinerary for a very cheap price. If you are planning to visit the Ancient City, they also offer a free shuttle bus from Erawan Museum as well as Kheha BTS station to the Ancient City, which is located only a few km away from Kheha BTS station.

By Bus: You can also take a local bus from Bangkok, but I do not recommend it. The traffic can be pretty bad, and since there is not a whole lot of assistance on public buses when it comes to English-speaking travelers, taking the public bus is not worth the amount you save for the headaches that will ensue.

By Car: For the fastest and most convenient way to travel to Samut Prakan, you can rent a car straight from Bangkok's airports and drive there, which should take you no more than 30 minutes without traffic.

Renting a car in Bangkok should cost around $26 USD per day. Click the link below to find a cheap car rental place in Bangkok:

How Many Days To Spend in Samut Prakan?

A full-day trip (12 hours) from Bangkok is more than enough to see all the best places Samut Prakan has to offer. Here is a rough itinerary for a day trip in Samut Prakan:

Day 1: Visit the Erawan Museum, take the boat to Phra Samut Chedi, drop by Wat Asokaram, and spend around 3 hours exploring the Ancient City. Then, watch the sunset at Bang Pu Recreation Center before heading back to Bangkok.

How Much Money Do I Need For Samut Prakan?

With the rough itinerary above, we can calculate approximately how much you will be spending in Samut Prakan as follows:

Accommodation: Since we are not spending a night in Samut Prakan, you will be paying 0 USD (0 THB) for accommodation.

Food: Food costs about 50 THB on average, but for seafood, it could go upward of 100 THB. So, you can expect to pay around 200 THB per person for one full day.

Transportation: For transportation, including taking the BTS from Bangkok to Samut Prakan and back, as well as approximate taxi fares to other places, you can expect to pay around 400 THB. Alternatively, you have the option to rent a car for a day, which should cost around 700 THB.

Activities: The entry fee for Erawan Museum is 400 THB (200 THB for kids), 700 THB (360 THB for kids) to enter the Ancient City, and 150 THB for bike rental in the Ancient City. So in total, you will be paying around 1,250 THB for activities in Samut Prakan.

Total budget for one day in Samut Prakan: 1,850 THB (58 USD).

Is it Safe in Samut Prakan?

It is pretty safe in Samut Prakan. The locals are friendly, as you can expect from Thai people, and you won't encounter as many scammers and touts out there, unlike what you might find in the Old City area in Bangkok.

That said, if you choose to drive to Samut Prakan, it is my duty as a Thai to warn you that we are not the best drivers in the world. The roads are great throughout, but be aware of motorbikes that can often appear out of nowhere, and they drive fast! Be extra careful when you are driving on Thai roads.

Which tourist SIM card is best for Thailand?

Update: If your phone supports eSIM, I highly recommend checking out Airalo, a global eSIM marketplace. It allows you to stay connected affordably while traveling in Samut Prakan, Thailand without having to switch out your physical SIM card.

Gone are the days when you needed to scramble to find a local SIM card at an airport upon arrival. You can purchase an eSIM before your arrival, and you'll be good to go. If your phone doesn't support eSIM, here is how you can get a local SIM card in Samut Prakan, Thailand:

There are 3 major carriers in Thailand: AIS, DTAC, and True. All of them offer a pretty similar range of traveler's packages as well as coverage. Personally, I use AIS because I have been with them since my first phone. They have a lot of Support Centers around Thailand, and their coverage hasn't failed me yet. So, if you are looking for a reliable carrier, I can recommend AIS.

There are 3 packages for tourists: 5 GB for 5 days at 160 THB, 15 GB for 8 days at 299 THB, and 30 GB for 15 days. Depending on how long your trip to Thailand will be, you can pick one of these 3 packages that fit your itinerary the most.

With these three packages, you can top-up more in case you need more data or calls for your trip. More often than not, 5 GB is more than enough for me to travel around Thailand for a month.

For more information about Thailand's local SIM card: Thailand's Prepaid Data SIM Card.

Tips: To stay connected with people at home, be sure that you have a VPN, such as ProtonVPN, installed before traveling. It's FREE, and you can gain access to services that may be blocked in certain countries.

What to Pack for Samut Prakan?

As you may already know, I am an advocate of light traveling, and indeed, packing light for a journey like this is a unique art form. Here are some packing tips for your upcoming trip to Samut Prakan, Thailand:

• Walking/Hiking Shoes: With all the walking and possible hiking during your travel, a comfortable pair of shoes is a must. I recommend the Timberland 3-Eye Classic Boat Shoes that are my go-to pair for long strolls and hikes.
• Breathable Shirts: Given the potential for hot weather, pack a few breathable shirts for your outdoor adventures.
• Shorts/Jeans: Anticipate lots of walking during your travels? Be sure to pack some breathable shorts and a pair of Levi's jeans for when the weather cools. For women, leggings are excellent for both hot and cold climates, so consider packing some as well.
• Outer Shell Jacket: An outer shell jacket is great for windy or rainy conditions. I highly recommend the Columbia Watertight Jacket (for women). It's lightweight, breathable, and even comes in a cool orange color.
• Microfiber Towel: A Microfiber towel is the ideal backpacker's towel due to its lightness, quick drying, and compressibility.
• Swim Suits: A swim trunk is a must-pack item if you are planning to visit Samut Prakan, Thailand in the summer, just in case there is a body of water you can jump in.
• Camera: You should also pack a good camera for your trip so that you can capture all the beautiful experiences you might have. I recommend the Sony a7R V camera together with the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II lens, which is probably the highest-performance camera and lens combination you can get right now.
• Power Bank: Keep your electronics charged on the go with a 20,000+ mAh Power Bank.
• Water Bottle: The Hydro Flask Trail Water Bottle is a great insulated water bottle to have with you in cities or on hiking trails. It is lightweight and can keep your water cold or warm for more than 12 hours. It's a total game-changer.
• Universal Adapter: You'll need just one universal adapter to plug in your electronics in any country you visit.
• Packing Cubes: Packing Cubes will help you save space in your backpack and keep all your belongings organized.
• Daypack: The Langly Alpha Globetrotter is my go-to everyday camera backpack. It's large enough to carry all my travel gear, and it comes with plenty of slots and pouches. Plus, it's stylish as hell!
• Large Backpack: You will need a large backpack to carry all of your stuff. I recommend the Osprey Atmos AG 65L backpack. With excellent weight distribution and a lifetime guarantee, you can't go wrong with Osprey.
