The King Naresuan the Great Monument in Ayutthaya was constructed during 1995-1999 to serve as a remembrance of the King, the value of independence, national sacrifice, and Thai identity. In addition, the construction was established in honour of King Bhumibol Adulyadej on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary Celebration of His Majesty’s Accession to the Throne. With a total area of 1,075 rai, the park and pond served as the recreational area and water storage for agriculture and flood prevention in accordance with the King’s royal initiatives.
