She organised Thai soldiers and villagers alike to take up arms and together they defeated the bigger, stronger invaders. The reigning monarch of the time, King Rama III rewarded Khunying Mo's courage by giving her the title Thao Suranaree. Her statue stands in the centre of Nakhon Ratchasima in front of the Chumphon Gate where it's a popular object of worship.
