The King Naresuan Monument in Nong Bua Lamphu is located in the city center on Phochai Road, within a public park by Nong Bua Lake, in front of the Mueang Nong Bua Lamphu District Office. It is a memorial that houses a statue of King Naresuan (the Black King), the monarch renowned for his military skills in regaining Thai independence from Burma. He is celebrated as a great warrior king. In 1574 (B.E. 2117), King Naresuan led his army to Nong Bua Lamphu to assist the vassal city of Hanthawaddy (present-day Yangon).

The monument features a standing statue of King Naresuan, built with high-quality materials. The surrounding area includes a public park and an activity plaza for visitors, where they can light incense, pay respects, and pray for courage, success, and good fortune.

The area around the monument is calm and shaded with large trees and landscaped gardens. Visitors can walk around the plaza, explore informative signs and exhibitions about the king’s royal duties, military campaigns, and significant historical events, making it ideal for those interested in Thai history or seeking blessings for themselves and their families.

Every year, Nong Bua Lamphu Province hosts the "King Naresuan Worship Ceremony" from January 25 to February 3 at this monument. The event includes cultural activities, worship rituals, and historical commemorations, making it a gathering place for both locals and visitors from nearby provinces.

The King Naresuan Monument is not only a memorial but also a center of faith and pride for the people of Nong Bua Lamphu. Visitors can pay their respects, learn about Thai history, and enjoy the serene and lush environment in the heart of the city.
