The Democracy Monument Ratchadamnoen, a walk and enjoy the landmark of Siam Chanalak, Ban Muang Phatthanakan

There is a large monument in the busy roundabout. Pedestrians are not able to enter the monument. It is recommended to read the history of the monument before coming here. There is no description plaque here. Taking pictures at night is the best. This is actually a monument to democracy, not a memorial to democracy, located in the middle of the ring of the main road in downtown Bangkok, very close to Khao San Road, which is currently being renovated.

There are relief decorations under each pillar. The reliefs are engraved on a series of activities of the Democratic Party carrying out the coup at that time. It is worth running over to see. The transportation here is very convenient. The scenery here is good.

one of the biggest landmark in Bangkok. however the traffic is bad and cannot take a closer photo

Democracy Monument Historical Circle to commemorate political events in the past Very big and beautiful

The Democracy Monument is located in the heart of Bangkok, not far from Baupasuminburg (Mahakan Fort) and Jinshan Temple. The monument was built in 1939 and completed in 1940 to commemorate the political changes of 1932. After the political changes of 1932, the Thai political system shifted from autocracy to a constitutional monarchy. The four wing columns are 24 meters high and 24 meters apart, symbolizing the political event that took place on the 24th. The middle fortress-style building has six sides, symbolizing independence, stability, equality, freedom, economy and education. The Democracy Monument is not a tourist attraction. When passing by Jinshan Temple, you will have time to see it. If you don't see it, you will not feel sorry. After the evening, the Democracy Monument is very distinctive and beautiful under the lights. It seems that its political significance has been ignored.

In the heart of Ratchadamnoen District The light is very beautiful. Don't forget to stop by to check in as well. #Democracy Monument
