» Bang Poo seaside resort in Samut Prakan was built in 1937 when Field Marshal Pibul Songgram was premier. It was intended to be a resort for the public to relax at as well as for recuperating soldiers. Today it is under the auspices of the Quartermaster Department of the Royal Thai Army. The most outstanding feature of Bang Poo is Sukta Pier, which juts 500m into the sea. At the end of the pier is Sukjai Pavilion which has served food and drink for over 50 years.
