 Known as:   Muang Rad Memorial    
 Description:   Pha Mueang (full name Pho Khun Pha Mueang, late 13th century - mid 14th century) was a Thai nobleman and general who was the Lord of Rad and played an important role in founding the kingdom of Sukhothai.
Pha Mueang is said to be a descendant of Nam Thum, a hero whose name is mentioned in the legends of many Tai peoples. The ultimate origin of Pha Mueang is described by his grandfather in the so-called "Inscription II": he is the ruler of a city-state called Mueang Rat. Mueang Rat's location is disputed. Many believe it to be found in the Pasak Valley. Therefore, the residents of the Phetchabun Lom Sak neighborhood built a large statue of Pha Mueang. Historian Alexander Brown Griswold, however, is of the opinion that Mueang Rat must have been located in the Nan River Valley near Uttaradit due to geographic features.
