    If you're in the vicinity of the Marble Temple, it's worth walking the short distance around the corner to see the attractive equestrian statue of King Chulalongkorn (also known as King Rama V).

    King Chulalongkorn was a great reforming monarch and was responsible for much of the modernisation that took place in Thailand during his long reign from 1868 to 1910. There's a great webpage about the King on the website of the university that bears his name:

    World-famous, but there is hardly to find anything about their background. They are named BIDADARI, in Thai the Kinnari or "Bird-woman".

    These female images do have the looks of a beautiful girl or lady, though the lower part of their body is the one of a bird! It is told the original images were memories of ancient creatures of female nature who travelled between the Upper- and the Underworld, like "angel-girls".

    That is why they moved around like birds and, whispering like girls they told all kind of secrets to the people. I found this one along the road near Rama IV, and will place lateron the famous golden ones who are also at WAT PHRA KEO, the Royal Grand Palace. In Pattaya see these Kinnarai's in WAT CHAIMONGKRON (see link).

    Isn't she a remarkable as well beautiful creature???

    King Rama V statue can be seen in a big square in front of the Anantasamakhom Palace.It was the first statue erected for a Thai King from funds raised by Thai citizens..This bronze statue was made by expert French sculptors and cast in Paris in 1907.
    Everyday especially on Tuesday (the day of the week the King was born ) you will see many Thai people paying respect in front of the bronze statue.Lighting candles ,incense, offering garlands of flowers and brandy at all hours of the day and night.Some people say that if you make a wish it may be granted.

    The Royal Plaza, located at the entrance to Dusit Park, is dominated by a statue of King Chulalongkorn on a horse.

    On December 5 every year, the Royal Guard Regiment affirms its oath of loyalty to the king and queen at the plaza, with much pomp and ceremony.

    Statues: Victory Monument

  • The Victory Monument is a tall and impressive statue in the the centre of Bangkok. It is well worth a look, and the sculptor work as well as the symbolism of the monument is very interesting. Unfortunately, there is not a lot else in the immediate vicinity, so you may be content to view it as you pass over in the Sky Train.
