FEATURED BLOGS ABOUT SAMUT PRAKAN:
For a number of years I was doing a weekly update of this website as a kind of news magazine for Samut Prakan. I attended a lot of the engagements of the Governor, taking pictures and posting them here on this website. At the time I was mainly concentrating on promoting Samut Prakan and Central Thailand as a tourist destination. However, since then I have gone more national and no longer had time to attend many of these events. I have archived here a selection of these blogs, posted between 2005 and 2012, which may be of interest. I will certainly be dipping through them to help write new content for the main website. You may be interested to know, I started the paknam.com website back in 1999 to promote Samut Prakan province. I think it was one of the first English language sites promoting Thailand as a tourist destination. I am still doing that same job today.
