Democracy Monument

 

The Democracy Monument was built in 1939 to commemorated the change in power from absolute rule by the Monarchy to a Constitutional Monarchy. While this was considered a Coup, the people to today are still very loyal to the King and so is the military. This was the first time in history the Thai people had a constitution. There are 4 wings that are 24 meters high to represent when Democracy began on June 24, 1932. It is a very impressive monument but it is located at a traffic circle that is very busy and difficult to get out to the actual monument. I have read that there is consideration of building a tunnel so people can get to the monument without having to dodge traffic.
