23 Royal Monument on Ratchadamnoen Klang in Bangkok, Thailand

Rama V, also called Chulalongkorn the Great, was the King of Siam for 42 years until his death in 1910. During a visit to Paris in 1897, he was impressed with the grand Champs-Élysées boulevard and wanted to duplicate it for his royal processions. The result was Ratchadamnoen Avenue, which stretches from the Grand Palace to the Dusit Palace. This royal monument is at the central point called Ratchadamnoen Klang at the intersection of Phra Sumen Road.
