Description: |
|
The equestrian statue situated at Wongwian Yai Circle on
Prachathipok Road was built to commemorate King Taksin, the
former king of Siam who, together with King Rama I of Chakri
Dynasty, liberated Siam from the ancient Burmese Kingdom and
founded the new capital city, Thonburi, on the left bank of Chao
Phraya River. The king is portrayed with his right hand holding
a sword, measuring approximately 9 metres in height from his
horse's feet to the spire of his hat. There’s a homage-paying
fair taking place annually on 28 December.
