Best way to see this monument is to exit the BTS at Victory Station and then use the high level walkway. The walkway follows the curve of the roundabout under the BTS track so that you get good views around 180 degrees (half circle) of the monument. You can't enter the island where the monument is anyway so just stick to this walkway.

Beautiful monument, can get better look from skytrain bridge just opposite to the monument. It is not allowed to go inside the monument circle, but only can have a view from a distance. Lots of shopping malls around. Center point and victory being prominent. Easily accessible by sky train. Maintained well. Recommended!!!

Victory Monument or Anusawari Chai Samoraphum is a military monument in Bangkok, Thailand. The monument is in Ratchathewi District, northeast of central Bangkok, at the center of a trafdic circle in the intersection of Phahonyothin, Phaya Thai, and Ratchawithi roads. At the center of a bustling junction, the Victory Monument, Bangkok towers majestically above the hive of activity that surrounds it. This monument is another masterpiece created by Corrado Feroci as a memorial to fallen servicemen and civilians. The Victory Monument consists of an obelisk ringed by six statues representing the army, navy, air force, police and civilians. These were the casualties in the Franco-Thai War from November 1940 – January 1941, over the disputed provinces of Battambang and Siem Reap, in what is presently Cambodia and territories to the west of the Mekong River along the Thai-Laos border. The names of the 656 fallen servicemen and civilians are inscribed around the base of the monument, which is fenced in and surrounded by trees. The Victory Monument is one of the most-seen monuments in Bangkok as it sits at one of Bangkok's busiest intersections where Ratchavithi, Phyathai and Phahonyothin meet. The area around the monument is a major transportation hub for buses and minivans to almost all parts of Bangkok and to some provinces. From the sky train station 100 m away, the track loops around the monument giving passengers a panoramic view of the area. A pedestrian walkway just below the skytrain line allows visitors to walk around and view the monument from different angles. The roads below have a constant flow of heavy traffic round a busy area thronged with people. In a distance, construction cranes are busily adding on to an already heavily built up area. Amid all this commercialization, the Victory Monument remains undisturbed, as an enduring tribute to the nation's defenders and a legacy to Feroci's artistry. The Victory Monument, indeed, is one of Bangkok's most familiar landmarks.

Victory Monument) in Bangkok is a significant landmark commemorating Thailand's victory in World War II. This grand monument stands tall and proud, symbolizing the country's triumph and honor. Surrounding the monument, visitors can find bustling markets, shops, and delicious street food, creating a vibrant atmosphere. It's a must-visit site for history enthusiasts and those seeking a glimpse into Thailand's past.

Monument has long served as one of the busiest transportation hubs in Bangkok. Nearly all public buses and vans to the city’s outskirts as well as nearby beach towns leave from this area. Unlike Siam, also a major transport hub surrounded by glitzy shopping malls, Victory Monument is a popular hangout place for working-class Thais and those who can’t afford the high price tag of fine dining and brand-name luxuries. With two shopping malls surrounding Victory Monument and a night market starting from dusk onwards, there is always something to see here, including a movie theatre and karaoke. From the monument, walk slightly south to Soi Rang Nam and discover a whole range of shop-house eateries serving up tasty yet affordable food. For brand-name shopping or high-quality souvenirs King Power Duty.

Just a nice monument. Picturesque. No entrance, just a monument at the centre of a big roundabout. Would recommend walking the skywalk to have a better view of the area.

The beautiful historical place next to payathai by walk and and Central World by BTS. Must visit it and make photos in the bridge.

Victory Monument (Thai: อนุสาวรีย์ชัยสมรภูมิ, RTGS: Anusawari Chai Samoraphum) is a military monument in Bangkok, Thailand. The monument was erected in June 1941 to commemorate the Thai victory in the Franco-Thai War. The monument is in Ratchathewi District, northeast of central Bangkok, at the center of a traffic circle in the intersection of Phahonyothin, Phaya Thai and Ratchawithi roads. The monument is entirely Western in design. This is in contrast with another prominent monument of Bangkok, the Democracy Monument, which uses indigenous Thai forms and symbols. The central obelisk, although originally Egyptian, has been frequently used in Europe and the US for national and military memorials, its shape suggesting both a sword and masculine potency. Here it is executed in the shape of five bayonets clasped together. Five statues, representing the army, navy, air force, police, and civilian population, are depicted in Western "heroic" style, familiar in the 1940s in both fascist and communist states. They were created by the Italian sculptor Corrado Feroci, who worked under the Thai name Silpa Bhirasi. The sculptor did not like the combination of his work with the obelisk, and referred to the monument as "the victory of embarrassment". In 1940–1941, Thailand fought a brief conflict against the Vichy French colonial authorities in French Indochina, which resulted in Thailand annexing some territories in western Cambodia and northern and southern Laos. These were among the territories which the Kingdom of Siam had ceded to France in 1893 and 1904, and nationalist Thais considered them to belong to Thailand. The fighting between the Thais and the French in December 1940 and January 1941 was brief and inconclusive. Fifty-nine Thai troops were killed and the final territorial settlement was imposed on both parties by Japan, which did not want to see a prolonged war between two regional allies at a time when it was preparing to launch a war of conquest in Southeast Asia. Thailand's gains were less than it had hoped for, although more than the French wished to concede. Nevertheless, the Thai regime of Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram celebrated the outcome of the war as a victory, and the monument was commissioned, designed, and erected within a few months. The monument became an embarrassment in a more political sense in 1945 when the Allied victory in the Pacific War forced Thailand to evacuate the territories it had gained in 1941 and return them to France. Many Thais regard the monument as an inappropriate symbol of militarism and a relic of what they now see as a discredited regime. Nevertheless, the monument remains one of Bangkok's most familiar landmarks.

Accessible for transportation. Traffic is monitored. Warning signs against pick pocketer are everywhere. Food and desserts are sold here. Police and other officers are visible. Foot bridges make crossing and transfer convenient.

The Victory Monument stands in the middle of a super busy roundabout. The Monument itself may be worth a photo opportunity, but it is the area around it that attracts most visitors. This is where the local busses and minibuses leave to take you to the farthest corners of Thailand. What makes this area nice is the still local Thai atmosphere and flavors that you will find here. In the evening the streets and parts of the bridges (sky walks) are taken over by street vendors, shops and food stalls. Here you will find plenty of cheap clothing, sunglasses, flip-flops and lots of good food! You won’t find many other tourists here yet by the way

Traffic point and great value for Thai people. One has to put this on the list of BKK sightseeing. You will pass this place by traveling to somewhere anyway.

If you need to restroom there you can walk to The One plaza. Nice place and good view. It convenient if you go around in Bangkok.

An nice monument with some interesting history on why it was built. Near the monument there is the BTS station and also multiple bus stops. The traffic here can be terrible at time.

I visited it in 2016 and now again in 2023. Both these years it is super changed now, earlier it has a lot of mismatched system but now it is greatly designed to interlinked all roads and this is the heart of Bangkok Local Transport especially the Buses transport. In all 4 directions, you will have buses available for routes. Very neat and clean and beauty of Victor Monument is awesome.

This is basically a huge bus and van stop. You can catch buses and vans to different locations. Crowded. Lot of restaurants nearby. There is also sky train close by.

Victory Monument is built in commemoration of the victory of the military. It is dedicated in honor of the air force, the army, the navy, the police, and the Thai civilians. The construction was completed in 1942. The monument becomes one of Bangkok's landmarks and the center of public buses. The Victory Monument is the starting point of Phaholyothin Road. There are four main bus stops leading to each direction and BTS Victory Monument station. Surrounded by public transportation, there are many restaurants and shopping places for locals.

Very nice. This areas a lot of vehicles. Its because this the route of some vehicles here in thailand...

This is one of the unique hub of transportation in bangkok, one of the very traffic with sceneries of many types of vehicles. Waiting around here, you will see even the sky trains come in and out of the station. The best view point always be on the bridges, stay over head and high enough to take a good shot for your memo.

Nice view and lot of bus stop.

Good can catch bus to all way to Bangkok.

Nice to take photos

Biggest and busiest roundabout I have ever seen. Really cool monument too. Great place for inexpensive local shopping.

(Translated by Google) It is a point for connecting to public transportation or electric train and also has a lot of food around as well. (Original) เป็นจุดที่ไว้สำหรับต่อรถสาธารณะหรือรถไฟฟ้าและยังมีของกินมากมายอยู่บริเวณรอบๆด้วยครับ

Probably one of the most famous circle in Bangkok...

You can take a glimpse of it during dusk with a colorful background of the sky.

Food was nice and mall is a good size although stores aren't as varied as other malls around Bangkok.

Nice Monument. Can't enter the island it's on. Best choice is to view from aerial Bridge. Also connects to BTS and many many buses.

The monument itself is probably just worth a minute or so for a picture. It is best to view the monument from the sky walk. However, this is a main transport hub especially for buses and vans where u can go further away places such as the southern Bangkok Bus terminal.

One of the iconic place of Bangkok and Thailand. The best view you can see is from the aerial bridge. From the exit of BTS Sukhumvit Line; Victory Monument and walks back to the monument. If you notice at the middle of the sculpture, you will see 5 people on it. It refers to 5 sets. Army, Navy, Air Force, Police and Citizen. The area near the monument is inaccessible so if you want the best picture, head up to the aerial bridge and make a shot.

The monument is just for sightseeing. Better view if you go up there to the skywalk connected to BTS. You cannot access the area around the monument as roads are cover the entrance. Quiet and Beautiful at night.

We can't go inside the Monument circle. But it's good to see such place on your Bangkok visit.

One night sleep on road atvictory Monument is quit good, You can sleep in walking street or chairs of bus station, no robber, absolutely fine but you should wear long clothes to cover your body again insect like moquito... It can no let you sleep well straight night to morning

Such a nice place. Victory monument is historic place. A famous BTS train station and bus station. From this bus station you can go to different areas of Bangkok. You can get vans for neighborhood province of Bangkok like Nonthaburi,Samut prakan,Minburi and Lopburi..

Really I came here for the boat noodles nearby but otherwise would have skipped this. If you plan to go here, go early in the morning. Take a few hours yuck pictures and then go get the boat noodles which is really the main event. Good for a nice cheap lunch.

We ate so much food for a grand total of $4 (for two people!). An authentic place to wander around. Mostly Thai people in the market. Btw the food was delicious. Some cute clothes shopping too tbh

Busy part of the city. Interesting history as well. I walk around this area every weekend, it's not the cleanest but I feel like it's relatively safe.

Normal round about. Grand beautiful statue. Surrounded by famous government hospitals.

Its a cool area to stroll & coffee daytime, & dinner & entertainment night time. My favourite is Saxophone, a famous Jazz Bar.

This is where you'll connect to almost 70% of places in Bangkok, sky train to mochit, phayathai, sukhumvit, connection to airport link and lots of other places. The best part is that they have guides all around who can speak English, they will help you to show you the bus to your destination.

Bus station to provinces in Thailand. If you wanna go Pattaya, Hua Hin, etc.. you take a bus here to go.

Very nice area to walk to and take pictures. I loved watching people go about their lives and took some nice pics here.

Great place for a victory! Great how the BTS curves around the monument. Illuminated advertising about toothpaste seriously detracts from any historical gravitas - or good night photos!
