Description: |
|
A peaceful amphitheatre commemorates the civilian demonstrators
who were killed by the military during a pro-democracy rally on
14 October 1973. Over 200,000 people had assembled at the
Democracy Monument and along the length of Th Ratchadamnoen to
protest against the arrest of political campaigners and
continuing military dictatorship. Although some in Thailand
continue to deny it, photographs confirm that more than 70
demonstrators were killed when the tanks met the crowd.
The complex is an interesting adaptation of Thai temple
architecture for a secular and political purpose. A central
chedi (stupa) is dedicated to the fallen and a gallery of
historic photographs lines the interior wall. |
