พระบรมรูปทรงม้า
The Equestrian Statue of King Chulalongkorn stands at the centre of Bangkok’s Royal Plaza, south of Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall. Its bronze rider faces southwest towards Ratchadamnoen Avenue.
A five-metre figure in Field Marshal uniform holds the reins in his left hand and a baton in his right. A marble pedestal supports the six-tonne bronze sculpture.
Public donations commissioned the work after the king’s 1907 European tour inspired its design, and surplus funds established Chulalongkorn University. Worshippers leave candles, incense, flowers, and brandy at the base, seeking the former king’s good fortune in business.
