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.
