Samut Prakan is in the Asia/Bangkok timezone (ICT/UTC+7), with no daylight saving time observed. Samut Prakan sits where the Chao Phraya River, Bangkokβs great artery, finally meets the Gulf of Thailand. The province is effectively the southern edge of the Bangkok metropolitan area: Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Bangkokβs main international hub, sits within Samut Prakan province. The airport runs on an international schedule but keeps local Indochina Time.
Thailand uses Indochina Time, UTC+7, year-round without daylight saving. Samut Prakan shares this clock with Bangkok to the north and with Samut Prakanβs neighbors across the Gulf Coast.
The Pak Nam area at the river mouth has been a fishing and trading community for centuries. The mangrove forests around the estuary once extended much further; urbanization has reduced them, though some protected areas remain. The Bang Pu Nature Education Center protects a wetland area used by hundreds of bird species, many in transit between Siberia and Southeast Asia on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. The shorebirds arrive and depart on schedules set by Arctic breeding seasons and monsoon winds.
the river estuary and migratory birds
The crocodile farm south of the city, one of Thailandβs oldest tourist attractions, holds thousands of crocodiles and has been operating since the 1950s. It has its own kind of time: reptiles whose ancestors were contemporary with the dinosaurs, waiting in enclosures built in the 20th century.
9am in Samut Prakan is 2am in London.
