Phra Sumen Fort is the northernmost of Rattanakosin's original forts, located at the mouth of Khlong Rop Krung (the moat) where it meets the river, today the corner of Phra Sumen and Phra Athit Roads (13°45?50?N 100°29?45?E). The octagonal fort is built of masonry on a 2-metre (6 ft 7 in)-deep spread footing foundation. It is 45 metres (148 ft) in diameter, and has a height of 10.5 metres (34 ft) measured to top of the sema-shaped battlements of the upper level. The fort has rectangular battlements on the lower level, and is topped by a roofed heptagonal tower, which collapsed sometime during the reigns of kings Rama V to Rama VII and was rebuilt in 1981 to celebrate the bicentennial of the city's foundation. The surrounding area was subsequently developed into Santichaiprakan Park, which opened in 2000.

Good place to chill. Super clean park. Activities from time to time. The temple is not the most beautiful but you can enjoy the park and the view on the river.

A happy discovery . We just walked along , saw a sign for a fort and found this fort on a quiet garden by the river. A good hour spent there .

Quiet place to sit and enjoy the moment. Phra Sumen Fort has park next to the river. It's clean and beautiful. Perfect place to spend the afternoon.
