Phet Fort

Pom Phet (Thai: ป้อมเพชร, pronounced [pɔ̂m pʰét]) is a historic fort along the city walls of Ayutthaya, in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Thailand. It is one of only two surviving fortresses of Ayutthaya's 29 forts.

The fort was built during the reign of King Maha Chakkraphat in the middle Ayutthaya period, after the first great war between Ayutthaya and Burma (Burmese–Siamese War; 1547–1549). Pom Phet is considered the strongest and most important fort, hence the name "Pom Phet" (literally: "diamond fort"). It is located at the point where the Pa Sak River joins the Chao Phraya and the Lop Buri Rivers (now the Chao Phraya River) known as Bang Kaja (บางกะจะ, pronounced [bāːŋ kā.t͡ɕā]).

It was made of brick and laterite, built 14 m (45.9 ft) thick, with a boundary marker 6.50 m (21.3 ft) high, and 8 openings for cannons.
