Celebrating the Chulalongkorn Memorial Day in the Month of October

Every year, the Thai people celebrate the heroism and courage of King Chulalongkorn, who was also the Chief of the Thai Armed Forces. If you intend to spend a vacation at a Koh Samui resort during the month of October, do not miss the opportunity of witnessing this annual tradition of Thailand, as celebrations are held all across the country. Make your next vacation at Santiburi Koh Samui worthwhile, as you become a part of this Thai tradition where all statues of King Chulalongkorn are offered with flowers. However, the largest celebration is held at the Royal Plaza in Bangkok.

The statue which displays King Chulalongkorn on a horse, in full army regalia was a gift by King Rama VI and is also considered to be the first monument that had been upraised in honour of a king in the land of Thailand.
