Wichai Prasit
Fort
is now part
of the naval base of the
Royal Thai Navy
in
Thonburi and
a statue of King
Taksin, taken from a shrine in
the king's former palace
(fig.),
now stands at the riverfront, near the gate (fig.)
of the former Royal Thai Naval Academy.
The old fort, as well as
Phra Rachawang Deum,
i.e. the ‘Former Palace’ or
Thonburi Palace,
are both located next to
Wat Arun, i.e.
the Temple of Dawn (fig.),
and as a naval camp, it is guarded by soldiers of the Royal Thai
Navy.
