Later, two of the original 25, Sam Yod and Nang Loeng were merged into Pom Prap Sattru Phai.The district was named after a fort (pom in Thai) near Nang Loeng Market. The fort was one of the eight new forts built along Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem during King Rama V's reign.AdministrationThe district is divided into five sub-districts (khwaeng).PlacesThe Golden Mount inside Wat Saket is probably the best known place in Pom Prap Sattru Phai. Its height is 63.6 m, making it easily seen from surrounding area. The chedi on the top is accessible via stairs circling up around the mount. The construction of Golden Mount began during King Rama III's reign but suffered from foundation stability problem. It was finished during the reign of King Rama V.
