Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- macedonboyGlasgow, UK186,766 contributionsThis monument is in honour of the 1932 Siamese coup d'Ă©tat that replaced the absolute monarchy with a constitutional monarchy. The structure consists of a central column holding the symbolic Thai Constitution of 1932, surrounded by four wing shaped columns to represent the branches of the Thai armed forces as defenders of the constitution. The main disappointing aspect of the monument is that it sits on a roundabout, making it difficult to get up close.Written 8 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Prawet JWashington DC, DC12,762 contributionsA symbol of freedom of Thailand and a landmark that for all Thais, is located at the plaza in front of the parliarment building.

The area is well maintained and special events are often held here. Great Symbol and landmark worth the stop and take some photos. It is located just around the coner from the Marble Temple.Written 25 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- macedonboyGlasgow, UK186,766 contributionsThis statue is in honour of King Rama III, the third king of the present Royal House of Thailand. His reign saw the renewal of contact with European countries as well as several rebellions against Thai rule over parts of modern neighbouring countries. The monument is a larger than life statue of the king, seated on his throne. He has a calm demeanour, looking impassively straight ahead.Written 6 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HINA WIslamabad, Pakistan7,348 contributionsThis is a beautiful monument near the Grand Palace. It was inaugurated in December 2011 to celebrate the 84th birthday of King Bhumibol’ (Rama IX). He was the most loved and longest ruling King of Thailand. The rare White elephants, which are actually pinkish in colour, were the king’s favourite. Moreover elephants are national animals of Thailand and until 1900s they were depicted on the national flag. The monument portrays three white elephants, each respectively with three heads, holding up a lotus flower with a gold crown. This monument represents a Buddhist tradition. It is said that on the eve of the birth of Buddha his mother went to sleep and dreamt that a white elephant came to her and gifted her with a lotus flower. On seeing this statue I really understood how the Thai respect and revere this animal.Written 29 September 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David BRayong, Thailand9,482 contributionsThe Royal Plaza, or the Equestrian Plaza as it is sometimes called because of the large statue of King Rama V on horseback that dominates it, is a large rectangle in front of Dusit Palace in Bangkok.
In June 24, 1932, the Dusit Palace and the Royal Plaza were the scene of an historic revolution that saw Thailand transformed from an absolute monarchy to a democratic constitutional monarchy, with Rama VII King Prajatipok, abdicating in favour of Rama VIII, King Ananda.
The Royal Plaza is sometimes the scene of more peaceful mass gatherings, such as in 2012, when upwards of a hundred thousand Thais started gathering from the pre-dawn to pay homage to HM King Bumiphol on his birthday on December 5. It was the last time the King, who is in ailing health, made a public appearance on his birthday.
But even on less auspicious days the Royal Plaza is a hive of activity, with people promenading, sitting under shade trees, or having lunch as improvised street noodle stalls.Written 25 August 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is in the center of a bustling junction. King Taksin was famous for his prowess in battle. This monument shows King Taksin the Great sitting on his charger. His sabre is raised as if he is signalling his a cavalry charge at the enemy.Written 21 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HINA WIslamabad, Pakistan7,348 contributionsThere are two war memorials in Bangkok. One is the famous Victory Monument but the other one is not so prominent. It is called Monument to the Expeditionary Force. It was built on the northern tip of Sanam Luang Park to pay tribute to the Thai soldiers who died on the Western Front in World War I. The monument has a four sided structure with the names of the dead soldiers etched on the sides. There is a spire on top of this cube. When the war ended in 1919 the 19 thai soldiers were cremated in Europe and the remaining marched in the victory parade in Paris. When they returned to Thailand they brought the ashes of the dead with them. Religious rites for them were held in Wat Mahathat and then the ashes were placed beneath this monument.Written 12 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
