A tuk-tuk running pass Pom Phra Sumen on Phra Arthit Road, Bangkok, Thailand. Pom Phra Sumen is a river side fortress on the bank of the Chao Phraya River built in 1783 to defend against potential naval invasions and named for the mythical Mt Meru ("Phra Sumen" in Thai) of Hindu-Buddhist cosmology. Alongside the fort and fronting the river is a small, grassy park with an open-air pavilion, river views, cool breezes.
