Somdet Phra Naresuan Shrine, Prachin Buri

Ban Phra Subdistrict, Mueang Prachinburi District

Established at the Hon-Horn Intersection in Ban Phra Subdistrict, Mueang Prachinburi District, Prachinburi Province, this site holds historical significance rooted in the relationship with a notable Thai monarch. In the year 2138 BE, King Naresuan the Great led the people of Prachinburi, Saraburi, Nakhon Nayok, and Chachoengsao to combat Prince Saththa, the son of the Cambodian monarch, King Laveak. This prince had once gathered troops to capture the residents of those areas as prisoners. Consequently, King Naresuan marched his forces to the Prachinburi Camp—believed to be located in the Ta Phraya District, as it was once referred to as the Phraya Army. As a result of this historical event, the Governor of Prachinburi Province commissioned a statue of King Naresuan the Great to be erected at the beginning of Suwannasorn Road as a tribute to him. Most importantly, His Majesty the King and Her Majesty Queen Sirikit formally inaugurated the site on January 25, 1971. By 1976, the province entrusted the military with its care and oversight, as the monument is situated within a military area. Visitors will find three altars dedicated to the royal statue. The central altar features a statue of King Naresuan in a standing posture. The left and right altars showcase King Naresuan in a position of pouring water onto the ground using a golden gourd, symbolizing his declaration of independence from Burma. The King Naresuan the Great Monument (Prachinburi) stands at the Hon-Horn Intersection in Ban Phra, at the entrance to Prachinburi City, approximately 9 kilometers north of the city along Highway 320. The roundabout housing the monument is situated on the right side, or for those coming from Nakhon Nayok, it is located at kilometer 158 along Highway 33.
