    Large statue of King Rama IX, also known as King Bhumibol. The king ruled Thailand from 1946 until his death in 2016, making him the longest-serving head of state in the world and the longest-serving monarch in Thai history. Even after his death, he is worshiped almost like a god in Thailand.

      Large statue of King Bhumibol, unfortunately placed a little off the beaten path.

        The statue of King Rama IX is located in Thong Sala on Koh Phangan, near the HTMS Phangan ship which is moored at the main pier of the town. This statue is part of a memorial commemorating King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), known for his immense importance and popularity in Thailand. The nearby ship, a former naval boat, now serves as the Rama IX Memorial Museum, which presents photos and information about the history of the island and the life of the king. The museum and statue are important sites for commemorative events and symbolize the deep reverence the king enjoyed on Koh Phangan and throughout the country.
