Meaningful landmark symbols for ThaisRatchadamnern Road stretches from the Parliarment buildings to the Grand Palace area and is one of the buetiful boulevard in the city. The Democracy Monument is a symbol of Thai modern era of governing. A nice symbol and landmark for Thai but another monument for visitors. If you are in the area, drive by tour is OK for photo ops. Or if you visit other landmarks in the area, photo form sidewalk is OK. Not really worth fighting the traffic to get to the monument which is located in the middle of the big boulevard.
