Over time, the right bank of the river has gradually silted, connecting the island where the chedi stands. Samut Prakan is a city that traces its origins back to the Ayutthaya period. The old town is found in the Phra Pradaeng District and was known as "Muang Phra Pradaeng." It served as a significant trading post for foreign merchants conducting business with Thailand.
