Very photogenic but whilst it is open to the public there is no pedestrian crossing to it so you run or hurry when the traffic lights suit you. Hurry though!
Once there you realise tha this monument has nightlighting and must be a good experience to see after dark. Mind you it needs to be driven and definitely do not try crossing to it after dark as you are sure to have an accident. From the centre you get some good 'boulevard' photos. You know traffic and trees. I got some great shots of a string of tuk tuks waiting for the lights to go green.
From here you can see East back to Fort Mahakan, no more than 5 minutes walk once you are back on a pavement!
God Bless the Thai people and this monument was erected in order to commemorate soldiers, police and the public who fell in defending this nation. It is my prayer that democracy flowers PEACEFULLY in this nation. I will watch with interest and may the values and ethics espoused by the Bhuddist monks flourish.
