“A patriotic site honoring Thai volunteer soldiers who died in World War I serving with the Allied powers.”

The Volunteer Soldiers Monument of World War I stands as a solemn reminder of Thailand’s contribution to global peace. Erected in honor of 19 Thai volunteer soldiers who joined the Allied forces and perished in Europe during World War I, the monument reflects both national pride and international solidarity.

Located near Sanam Luang and the Grand Palace, this understated but elegant memorial displays engraved names of the fallen heroes and a dedication to their ultimate sacrifice. It serves as a public gathering site during national remembrance ceremonies and military observances.

The site is not only a historical marker but also a peaceful spot for reflection in the heart of Rattanakosin Island—ideal for tourists seeking lesser-known heritage sites that carry deep significance.
