Tips from locals
King Taksin the Great established Thonburi as the administrative center after he liberated the people from foreign occupation. The monument itself was sculpted by Professor Silpa Bhirasri. There was an interesting story on why the professor sculpted the horse's tail that way. The statue was inaugurated on April 17, 1954. Every year, on December 28, His Majesty the King graciously makes a royal visit to the statue to lay down a wreath.
