Monument of Bang Rachan Heroes

This is situated in Amphoe Khai Bang Rachan, 13 kms. southwest of the town on Route No. 3032. The statue refer to the villagers of Bang Rachan who bravely fought against the Burmese army in 1765 during the reign of King Ekkathat of Ayutthaya. In spite of many more troops than the villagers, the Burmese had to make eight attacks before the villagers were defeated due to their shortage of weapons.
