Statues of King Taksin and Phraya Phichai Dap Hak in Wat Khung Taphao, Memorial statues in Wat Khung Taphao, Thailand.
The brass and copper statues stand prominently within the temple grounds, representing two important military leaders from Thai history.
King Taksin united Thailand after Ayutthaya's fall in 1767, while Phraya Phichai fought alongside him with exceptional valor until 1782.
These monuments reflect Thailand's tradition of honoring leaders who defended national sovereignty through physical representations at religious sites.
Visitors can reach the statues by taking local transportation to Wat Khung Taphao, with the site remaining open during regular temple hours.
The statue of Phraya Phichai commemorates the general who continued fighting even after his sword broke during a crucial battle.
