Description: |
|
The statue of King Rama VIII, or Ananda Mahidol, near the Rama
VIII Bridge in Bang Phlat district is a new landmark for
Bangkok. His Majesty the King preside over the unveiling of the
statue on Saturday 9 June 2012, which is regarded as “Ananda
Mahidol Day.”
The statue of King Rama VIII was built as a
tribute to King Ananda Mahidol, the elder brother of His Majesty
King Bhumibol Adulyadej. It is considered part of the Rama VIII
Bridge across the Chao Phraya River. The statue is in a standing
posture.
The bridge, which was open to traffic in May 2002,
was constructed to ease traffic congestion and link inner
Bangkok with the Thon Buri side. A multi-purpose building was
built near the monument, where visitors may view important
historical places, such as Phra Sumen Fort and Bang Khun Phrom
Palace. |
