Sunthorn Phu Memorial, Literary monument in Klaeng District, Rayong Province, Thailand
The memorial includes a central statue of poet Sunthorn Phu accompanied by three bronze sculptures representing characters from his literary compositions.
The monument construction began in 1955 with Prime Minister Plaek Pibulsongkram laying the foundation stone, pausing for a decade before completion in 1970.
The memorial grounds host annual celebrations of Sunthorn Phu Day on June 26th, featuring poetry contests, exhibitions, and traditional performances.
The memorial park spans 33 acres of land near the Rayong River mouth, with informational displays about the poet's life and literary achievements.
Four different sculptors created the statues at the memorial: Sukij Laidej, Gaisorn Srisuwan, Saroj Jaruc, and Thana Laohathaikul each contributed distinct pieces.
