Victory Monument commemorates those who died in national
service – policemen, military officers and civilians. The concrete
monument has a number of statues representing the services alongside
plates commemorating those who died in the Franco-Thai dispute of 1943.
Foreign dignitaries lay wreaths here on official visits. Like Democracy
Monument, Victory Monument is at the centre of a roundabout and an even
busier road network. As such, you can’t really wander over to take a look.
However, it is very dominant in the skyline and you can study it from many
vantage points around Victory Monument. It probably isn’t worth a visit in
its own right, but the surrounding area is full of great shops and
restaurants. Even if you don’t make a special visit to see it, you’ll
probably get to see it during your wanderings around the city.
