Victory Monument, Phaya Thai Khwaeng

I will not say it is the best of places to visit in Bangkok, but it is not bad either. I have been to Victory Monument on my trip. It is not much famous amongst the visitors but the locals adore it. The more people I saw around it were mostly locals. However, there was a strong patriot feel around the monument. Kids can really enjoy the atmosphere around this place. I would not say I will recommend it to all but if you have time and you want to ad a place to a list of places you have been to, then do visit this monument.

Victory Monument also know by the locals as "Anusawari Chai Samoraphum "is a large military monument in Bangkok.It was built in 1941 to commemorate the Thai "victory" in the Franco-Thai War . The Monument is one of Bangkok's major traffic intersections. There is a BTS Skytrain station of the same name to the south of the Monument.From this roundabout you can get buses or mini vans to any part of Bangkok as well as Ayuthaya,Pattaya,Hua Hin & Cha Am. However there are no signs in English ,so make sure that you know the number bus you want .There are four different sides where buses stop and it can get very hectic at peak hour.The mad rush to get on buses to get a seat is intense .Rugby skills can be a big advantage here. There are also many shops around Victory Point especially ladies cloths and shoes.In the evening here are some very good food stalls and little bars around here and Saxophone Jazz Bar.

I have been there few months ago and i will never forget it.It's a City of angels,foods,temples,smiling...anything else that you want to know, let pack your back and discover it.Truly feeling...ever
