King Rama V Monument

Victory Monument stands as a significant military landmark in the bustling city of Bangkok. Erected in June 1941, it was created to honour Thailand's success in the Franco-Thai War. Located in the Ratchathewi District, the monument is a central feature of a busy traffic circle where several major roads converge.

Beyond its commemorative purpose, Victory Monument has evolved into a notable gathering place for public expression and protest, similar to the Democracy Monument. This role continues to the present day, with significant demonstrations occurring in recent years, highlighting its enduring presence in the nation's civic life.
