Phraya Srisunthornwohan Monument Roundabout, located in the heart of Chachoengsao city, is an important roundabout on Mahachakraphat Road, connecting the city's main transportation routes and serving as a gateway to significant religious and governmental areas of the province. This monument was erected to commemorate "Phraya Srisunthornwohan (Noi Acharayangkun)", a key figure in Thai language and literature who played a vital role in laying the foundation for modern Thai language education during the early to mid-Rattanakosin period. He was born in Chachoengsao and grew up in a community along the Bang Pakong River, a historical center of trade and culture in the eastern region.

Phraya Srisunthornwohan's most significant work is the compilation of the Thai language textbook series "Mulabhat Banphakit" and other royal texts that formed the basis of early Thai education. He also produced numerous literary works, poems, and court writings. His contributions are considered the starting point for establishing a clear and standardized system for learning the Thai language, which continues to influence Thai education to this day.

The monument at this roundabout is a bronze statue of him seated, holding a Thai scripture and writing implements. Located on a central base within an open area of ​​a roundabout, visible from all directions, the monument is designed to serve as both a cultural landmark and a key traffic indicator in Chachoengsao. Its central location within a major intersection makes it a vital landmark for directional navigation within the city.

Beyond its historical significance, the monument reflects Chachoengsao's identity as a city of education and culture. Phraya Sri Sunthornwohan is recognized as one of the province's important figures, alongside religious sites and other cultural heritage such as Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan. The area surrounding the roundabout is a vibrant mix of traffic, shops, and urban communities.
