 Who is King Taksin?
King Taksin the Great or the King of Thonburi was the
only king of the Thonburi Kingdom that ruled Thailand
from 1767 to 1782. He had been an aristocrat in the
Ayutthaya Kingdom and then was a major leader during
the liberation of Siam from Burmese occupation after the
Second Fall of Ayutthaya in 1767, and the subsequent
unification of Siam after it fell under various warlords. He
established the city of Thonburi as the new capital, as the
city of Ayutthaya had been almost completely destroyed
by invaders.
Why do they called King Taksin
the Great?
King Taksin was the only king of the Thon
Buri Period. He has been recognized as one of
the great Thai kings, for his prowess in
warfare, his leadership in liberating the
country after Ayutthaya was taken by the
Burmese in 1767, and his ability in unifying
the country after it had been split up into
many factions.
 Why they built King Taksin
Momument?
The King Taksin Monument was built to honour his earlier
accomplishments. Whatever his shortcomings later in his reign,
his unification of Thailand provided the foundation for the
future. The monument to King Taksin is in recognition of that
contribution by a great warrior.
