The Democracy Monument is a symbol of democracy for the Thai people, built on June 24, 1939, during the time of Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram, who served as Prime Minister. It serves as a remembrance of the transition from an absolute monarchy to a democratic system, with the King as the head of state. The monument was constructed and designed by Mom Luang Poom Malakul, with the construction supervised by Professor Silpa Bhirasri and artist Sitthidej Saenghirun, who shaped the monument. The Democracy Monument stands as a central point of progress in Bangkok, with various roads radiating outwards from it, marking the starting point for journeys to other provinces. It features a striking centerpiece, a three-meter-tall sculpture of the constitution contained within a traditional Thai book, resting on a pedestal topped with a bronze structure weighing four tons. The circular base, elevated above the ground, has a staircase surrounding it, and four flat, wing-like structures extend outward. At the base of these wings, there are intricately carved reliefs, and a low fence surrounds the memorial, made from 75 ancient cannons embedded in the ground, with their muzzles protruding, serving as posts connected by chains. The height of the monument, reaching 24 meters with a 24-meter radius, symbolizes the date of the change in governance, while the three-meter-tall constitution platform signifies the month of June (considered the third month of the year at that time when April was deemed the first month). This historic change in governance also represents the three pillars of sovereignty under the constitution: legislative, executive, and judiciary. The 75 cannons surrounding the base symbolize the year of the political change, as 75 corresponds to the last two digits of the year 1932. The chains connecting the cannons symbolize the unity and solidarity of the revolutionary committee. Additionally, six swords surround the central platform, representing the six principles of the People's Party. Moreover, the areas surrounding the Democracy Monument offer spaces for relaxation, with cafes where one can sit and unwind, as well as pathways perfect for strolls to fully immerse oneself in the rich history of this monumental reminder. Location: Ratchadamnoen Klang Road, Ban Phan Thong Sub-district, Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok.
