Detail InformationEdit
Victory Monument is a large military monument in Bangkok, Thailand. The monument is located in Ratchathewi district, northeast of central Bangkok, at the center of a traffic circle at the intersection of Phahonyothin Road, Phaya Thai Road, and Ratchawithi Road.The monument is entirely western in its design: in this it is in sharp 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 America for national and military memorials – its shape suggesting both a sword and an outstanding mark that holds in a territory (by some erotic-minded it can be identify with masculine potency); here it is designed in the shape of five bayonets clasped together.The five statues, representing the army, navy, air force, police and civilian bureaucracy, are in a standard western “heroic” style, familiar in the 1940s in both fascist and communist states, and were executed 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.”
