Amphoe Phra Pradaeng is a district of Samut Prakan province in Thailand. It is located a big bend on the Chao Phraya river.

History

Phra Pradeang was the original center of the area south of Bangkok near the mouth of the Chao Phraya river. Originally named Nakhon Khuan Khan it was settled by Mon. In 1815, King Rama II built the Pom Phlaeng Faifa fort at the river bend. The fort is now located in a small park and accessible for visitors. In 1819 the new town Samut Prakan (or Paknam) was established. In the administrative reforms of Prince Damrong Phra Pradaeng lost its provincial status and became a district of the Samut Prakan province.
