Rajabhakti Park

4.4(11,100 reviews)

Seven bronze kings, each one enormous, lined up across a ceremonial plaza the Thai Army also uses for parades. That's the draw here, and it's a genuinely impressive sight. The statues run from King Ramkhamhaeng through to the Rattanakosin era, and plaques give you the basics on each reign. The name was chosen by the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej and means loyalty to the monarchy, which tells you what kind of place this is: somewhere Thais come to pay respects, not a day out.

Be honest with yourself about how long you'll want here. Several reviewers make the same point, which is that beyond the statues and the plaza there isn't a great deal to do. An hour covers it. What the site does have is space, spotless toilets, shops and a cafe for cold drinks, and a free open-air electric shuttle running between the car park and the monuments. There's also a free Thai-language guide, though no English equivalent.

A famous Thai historical park, Rajabhakti Park is located in Nong Kae Subdistrict, Hua Hin District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej named it "Rajabhakti," meaning a park built out of loyalty, in honor of the past Thai monarchs who provided great benevolence to their country. There are statues of seven Thai kings within the park: King Ramkhamhaeng the Great, King Naresuan the Great, King Narai the Great, King Taksin the Great, King Phutthayodfa Chulalok the Great, King Mongkut, and King Chulalongkorn the Great. The landmark is also a historical learning center, where tourist and local alike can learn about each Thai monarch's heroic achievements. You can find shops and restrooms in the front building from the parking lot. The shuttle bus is waiting in the next building. Its free and plenty of seats. In this area, there is a museum with miniaturized statues and brief biographies of the seven kings (in Thai only). My recommendation would be for the government to describe also in English and other languages. My son and husband are using Google Translate to understand the historical stories. The landmark was enjoyable and impressed our family. We look forward to returning one day. 🫶🏻❤️

Worth a visit. There's a shuttle that takes you from the car park to the Monuments. A plaque gives basic details about each King. Not sure why these Kings were chosen, perhaps they represent different eras There's a lot of concrete - the area is used by the Thai Army for events, very little shade. Places to buy refreshments. Worth a visit.

A really big park with 7 really big statues of past Thai kings, which is impressive, but there’s not much else. One of the roads leading to the statues is reserved for royals. Entrance is free, as is the electric shuttle and Thai -language guide.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture

Dress Modestly

Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.

Mind Your Feet

Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.

Ask Before Photographing

Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
