Pom Wichian Chodok is an old fort at the meeting point of Khlong Mahachai with Tha Chin River in Samut Sakhon, Thailand. Located near the City Pillar Shrine of Samut Sakhon, Pom Wichian Chodok was built in 1827 during the reign of King Rama III. The purpose of the fort was to prevent invasion due to conflict with the Vietnamese over Vientiane.
Pom Wichian Chodok, now in ruins, was built of bricks and cement. At the opening in the walls are cannon pointing in the direction of the river mouth.
