Nai Dok Nai Thong Kaeo Monument, Ayutthaya

The Monument is located in Phai Cham Sin Subdistrict, amidst the bustling grounds of Wiset Chai Chan Witayakom School close to Wat Wiset Chai Chan. A gilded tribute to bravery and sacrifice, cast in shimmering brass atop a pedestal, this monument stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration, honouring the valour of Mr. Dok and Mr. Thong Kaeo, who laid down their lives in defence of their beloved land during the tumultuous Battle of Bang Rajan before the fall of Ayutthaya in 1766. On 25 March 2017, HM King Rama X, graciously presided over the inauguration of the monument, ensuring that every March 25th from now on would serve as a formal occasion to commemorate the bravery and sacrifice of these two heroes throughout the ages.
