Monument of the People Revolution, Laksi Circle, Bangkok. July 2009.
Image by adaptorplug
On 15th October 1936 the Monument of the People Revolution (Boworadet Rebellion) was unveiled at the Laksi Circle, out near Don Muang airport.
It was the first Bangkok memorial bashed up in the “the old order has gone, we’re now doing it differently” and with our new constitution, thank you very much, style.
In 1932 it had all kicked off in central Bangkok with a military coup forcing / suggesting that / working with (you decide) King Rama VII’s switch from absolute monarch status to constitutional monarch status. Now when things change some folk aren’t going to be too happy, and believe me there were a few princes that weren’t chuffed with the new status quo.
In 1933 things were getting dodgy in the wake of the coup. Pridi had presented an economic plan that was ever so slightly socialist, which got dubbed ‘communist’ and stirred up all sorts of a kerfuffle in the government. So his cabinet pals passed an anti communist law and Pridi popped back to Paris to do some agricultural economics studying and keep his tete down. He’d only been gone three months and a new prime minister decided to lug him all the way back to Bangkok. And Pridi finally rolled up in September… not daft was that, Paris in summer is fantastic, and it would have been a shame to miss it. Believe me.
But when Pridi did arrive in Krung Thep a grandson prince of King Chulalongkorn who in the old scheme was the Minister of War (smashing title huh?) got really, really, really annoyed. That would be Prince Bowaradet.
Bowaradet trundled away up to the Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima) garrison, at the gateway to Isaan, and got some of his miffed army chums to team up with other grotchy army fellahs in Saraburi and Ayutthaya. Together they marched their squaddies down to Bangkok and took on the boys in the capital who were ‘fomenting communism’ and therefore ‘disrespecting the King.’
Well they only got as far as Don Muang airport where it all kicked off big style. We’re not talking three days of wearing yellow in the air conditioned departures hall, we’re talking three days of full on fighting. Anyhow, Bowaradet lost, did a runner, and ended up in Saigon.
So whoo hoo. This is the first victory for the military government and a flipping great excuse to bash up a monument dedicated to all the patriots that fought for the national cause. And no royal images on this one s’il vous plait. A Thai family (sporting the new short hair styles and modern style shirts as then ‘suggested’ by the department of culture). A Buddhist wheel. An armed forces motif. A constitution on the top.
A simple dry run and practice monument for the Democracy Monument that was to go up on Ratchadamnoen Avenue in 1939.
Personally, I think it is a terrific political statement, but one that looks pants. And given the lack of attention, Dulux and Vim it gets these days I can presume others think so too.
