The Thao Suranari Monument

The Thao Suranari Monument, also known locally as 'Ya Mo', commemorates a brave Thai heroine from nearly 200 years ago. She rallied the villagers to fight against the army of King Anouvong (the King of Vientiane) who intended to invade Bangkok. She was later honored with the title 'Thao Suranari'. As time passed, her story began to fade. To honor her bravery, a monument was erected during the reign of King Rama V, about 91 years ago. Since then, it has become a spiritual refuge and a center of faith for the people of Korat. People come to pray for various blessings, including good fortune, career success, safe travels, and overcoming obstacles.
