Economy[edit]

Interhides Public Company (IHL)[2] operates nine tanning factories in Bang Pu Mai and is building a tenth factory there to be operational by 2020. IHL produce finished leathers for international footwear, automotive, and furniture companies.[3]

Environment[edit]

The district's coastline has seen severe erosion since the 1990s.[4] Coastal mangrove forests were destroyed and replaced with shrimp farms. Three to five metres of shoreline has been submerged every year since then, resulting in the loss of 4,000 rai of land to the sea.[5]

Thailand lost almost one third of its coastal mangrove forests between 1961 and 2000. According to Thailand's Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, a quarter of the country's shores—about 700 kilometres (500 miles)—are eroding, some "severely".[6]

Transportation[edit]

Samut Prakan is served by the southern end of the Sukhumvit Line on the BTS Skytrain (from SamrongtoKheha stations). The major thoroughfare in Samut Prakan is Sukhumvit Road, which links the city to Central Bangkok all the way towards the Cambodian border in Trat.

Education[edit]

The Thai Sikh International School is in Samrong, in the district.[7]

Health[edit]

Samut Prakan Hospital, the main hospital of the province is located in the district.
