        The Victory Monument in Bangkok is one of the city's most recognizable landmarks, symbolizing Thailand's military victory in the Franco-Thai War of 1940-41. The monument was erected in 1941 and stands in Ratchathewi district. It is shaped like a tall obelisk surrounded by five statues representing the various branches of the Thai military: Army, Navy, Air Force, Police and Civil Defense.

        The monument not only serves as a commemoration of historical events, but is also a central transportation hub. The roundabout around the Victory Monument is one of the busiest in Bangkok and is served by several BTS Skytrain and bus lines, making it a significant hub for commuters and visitors.

        The area surrounding the monument is home to a variety of shops, markets and street food stalls, making the place a popular meeting place. The area is particularly famous for its small restaurants and fashion stores that stretch along the surrounding streets.
