About Victory Monument

Victory Monument in Bangkok stands as a testament to Thailand's martial history. It was built to commemorate the nation's triumph in the Franco-Thai War in the 1940s. The monument was built in June 1941 under the leadership of Field Marshal Plaek Pibulsongkhram. It marks a pivotal moment in Thai history, situated at a bustling crossroads in the Ratchathewi District. 


The architecture of the monument, designed by the Italian sculptor Corrado Feroci (Silpa Bhirasi), fuses Western and Thai artistic traditions. Its central obelisk resembles both a sword and bayonets (dagger/machete) clasped together. It is surrounded by five statues representing the army, navy, air force, police, and civilian population, each telling stories of valour and sacrifice. The monument is one of Bangkok's most recognisable landmarks and embodies national pride and collective memory. Around it, you can find street vendors, bustling traffic, and the Skytrain overhead, connecting past and present in the heart of Bangkok.
