Monument

Photograph at the Monument Monument

In the heart of Bangkok, near the busy Ratchathewi District, stands Victory Monument. This striking structure, officially known as Anusawari Chai Samoraphum, was established in June 1941. It was built to honour the Thai armed forces' success in the Franco-Thai War. Today, the monument serves as a significant landmark, situated at the focal point of a major traffic interchange. It has also become a place where citizens gather for public demonstrations, a role it shares with the Democracy Monument and which was notably seen in 2022.
