Monument of Thao Suranari or Khun Ying Mo is situated in front of the old gate
of ''Pratu Chumpon'' on the west side of the city. This
monument was erected in 1934 to commemorate the heroic deed
of Khun Ying Mo, wife of the Deputy Governor of Khorat during
the reign of King Rama III, who managed to save the city
from the invasion of the Laotian army led by Prince Anuwong
of Vinentianne. Every year from March 23 to April 3, there
is a cerebration to honour this statue which draws thousands
of people from town and neighbouring provinces.
