that most of the locals always come over for a relaxation.
People mostly go up to the top to see the panorama views and as
well to pay homage to the Buddha image up above. The foothill
area is where the monument situated. It has been believed that
anyone paid homage to the monument of King Rama I, they will get
a chance to be the best in the government field and have a warm
family.
Ratchaburi people cooperated together in order to
build the monument to commemorate the 200 anniversary of
Rattanakosin city. This is because King Rama I has many things
related to Ratchaburi city. His Majesty used to work in the
government service in Ratchaburi before during late Ayuttaya
period in the reign of King Ekatat. Later in the reign of King
Taksin Maharaj, King Rama I got to serve the role of army leader
and confronted with Myanmar troops in Bang Kaew Sub-District,
Photharam District, Ratchaburi. His Majesty won over the Myanmar
troops that time and later when he succeeded to the throne, his
majesty cooperated with Somdej Phra Anuchatiraj to fight with
another Myanmar troop of Phrachao Pradung during Kao Thap War in
Thung Khao Ngu, Ratchaburi District and yet got another victory.
Also, his majesty ordered Kromluang Thephirak and the army
leader to attack Chiang Saen (Chiang Saen District which is
presently called Chiang Rai province) and to herd all the
Taiyuan people to relocate to Ratchaburi city on the right side
of Mae Klong river. Later, these people relocated to Khu Bua
District, Ratchaburi and other districts of Ratchaburi as well.
They have become the main population of Ratchaburi nowadays.
After the renovation of the public park, it was given the
name ‘Chakri Monument Park’. Nowadays, it is the park that opens
for everyone to come over for relaxation and as well to
exercise. Also, there are many restaurants situated nearby the
park. |
