Khlong Samrong

A radiation accident occurred in Samut Prakan Province, Thailand in January–February 2000. The accident happened when an insecurely stored unlicensed cobalt-60 radiation source was recovered by scrap metal collectors who, together with a scrapyard worker, subsequently dismantled the container, unknowingly exposing themselves and others nearby to ionizing radiation. Over the following weeks, those exposed developed symptoms of radiation sickness and eventually sought medical attention. The Office of Atomic Energy for Peace (OAEP), Thailand's nuclear regulatory agency, was notified when doctors came to suspect radiation injury, some 17 days after the initial exposure. The OAEP sent an emergency response team to locate and contain the radiation source, which was estimated to have an activity of 15.7 terabecquerels (420 Ci), and was eventually traced to its owner. Investigations found failure to ensure secure storage of the radiation source to be the root cause of the accident, which resulted in ten people being hospitalized for radiation injury, three of whom died, as well as the potentially significant exposure of 1,872 people.

The Bhumibol Bridge (Thai: สะพานภูมิพล), also known as the Industrial Ring Road Bridge (Thai: สะพานวงแหวนอุตสาหกรรม) is part of the 13 km long Industrial Ring Road connecting southern Bangkok with Samut Prakan province. The bridge crosses the Chao Phraya River twice, with two striking cable-stayed spans of lengths of 702 m and 582 m supported by two diamond-shaped pylons 173 m and 164 m high. Where the two spans meet, another road rises to join them at a free-flowing interchange suspended 50 metres above the ground. The bridge opened for traffic on 20 September 2006, before the official opening date of 5 December 2006. It is part of the Bangkok Industrial Ring Road, a royal scheme initiated by King Bhumibol Adulyadej that aimed to solve traffic problems within Bangkok and surrounding areas, especially the industrial area around Khlong Toei Port, southern Bangkok, and Samut Prakan province. According to tradition, all bridges over the Chao Phraya in Bangkok are named after a member of the royal family. In October 2009, it was announced that both bridges would be named after King Bhumibol Adulyadej, with the northern bridge officially named "Bhumibol 1 Bridge" and the southern bridge "Bhumibol 2 Bridge". The unofficial name "Mega Bridge" was also widely used.The bridge was featured on the Discovery Channel. Even though the bridges are the fastest way to drive from Phra Pradaeng district, Samut Prakan Province to Bangkok, motorcycles were banned from using the two Bhumibol bridges from 1 November 2018 due to safety concerns.

Khlong Lat Pho (Thai: คลองลัดโพธิ์, pronounced [kʰlɔ̄ːŋ lát pʰōː]) is a waterway in form of khlong (canal) in the area of Bang Kachao, connecting Bangkok and the neighbouring province of Samut Prakan. It was dug during the King Tai Sa's reign of Ban Phlu Luang dynasty in the late Ayutthaya period. The canal was used as a travel route for underclass, as well as a thoroughfare for kings when they went fishing in Samut Prakan. It was also a route for transporting troops and equipment in the early Rattanakosin period. Khlong Lat Pho currently serves as a shortcut to quickly sluice water from northern Thailand via the Chao Phraya river into the Gulf of Thailand in large volume. The main objective is to reduce flooding in the inner part of Bangkok. Based on the King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX)'s water diversion concept, Khlong Lat Pho accelerates the reduction of water overflow on either side of the Chao Phraya river before the sea rise and hence prevents the sea water from flooding the adjacent areas along the river sides. In addition to serving as the sluice gate, as recommended by the King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Khlong Lat Pho is used to generate electricity with assistance of hydraulic turbines installed at the watergate. Royal Irrigation Department (RID) has adopted the idea and installed hydraulic turbines at watergates nationwide, hence creating more sources of electricity generation for Thai people.
