Samut Prakan Hosts 'R.S. 112 The Musical' at Phra Chulachomklao Fort
The Samut Prakan Provincial Administrative Organization and the Royal Thai Navy are presenting a historical musical performance from September 24–27, 2026.
According to Khaosod Online, the Samut Prakan Provincial Administrative Organization has partnered with the Royal Thai Navy to stage a grand musical production titled 'R.S. 112 The Musical: The Fortress of Dignity, Pak Nam Naval Battle.' The event is taking place from September 24 to 27, 2026, at the historic Phra Chulachomklao Fort in Samut Prakan province.
This multimedia performance, featuring light and sound effects, aims to commemorate the historical events of the Pak Nam Incident in 1893 (R.S. 112). The production serves to honor King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) and pay tribute to the ancestors who defended Thailand’s sovereignty during a critical period in the nation's history. Organizers state that the show is designed under the theme 'The past is the taproot, the present is the treetop,' intending to educate the public while promoting local tourism and stimulating the regional economy.
For residents and travelers, this event offers a unique opportunity to engage with Thai history in an immersive, site-specific setting. While the performance is scheduled through September 27, those planning to attend should verify specific showtimes and ticket availability through official provincial or naval channels, as details regarding public access and potential weather-related schedule adjustments remain subject to confirmation.
