Description
Bangkok, Thailand - December 18, 2015: The Democracy Monument is a public monument in the centre of Bangkok, capital of Thailand. The monument was commissioned in 1939 to commemorate the 1932 Siamese coup d'état (also called "1932 Revolution" which led to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in the then the Kingdom of Siam. The centrepiece of the monument is a carved representation of a palm-leaf manuscript box holding the 1932 Thai Constitution on top of two golden offering bowls above a round turret. The constitution is symbolically guarded by four wing-like structures representing the four branches of the Thai armed forces (army, navy, air force and police) which carried out the 1932 coup.
