Amphawa district in summer  Zn > Pb > Fe > Cd > Cu, in rains as Pb > Zn > Cd > Fe > Cu and Bangkhontee district in summer as Cd > Pb > Zn > Fe < Cu and rains as Pb > Fe > Zn > Cu > Cd. The concentration of heavy metal, all kinds of contamination in surface water in Samut Songkram in the summer and rainy are difference sifnificant (sig = 0.0000) at  0.99 level by t – test.
