Thalang Victory Monument

4.5(88 reviews)

Standing in the Thalang District of Phuket, the Thalang Victory Monument commemorates a pivotal moment in the island's history — the defeat of Burmese forces, an event closely tied to the celebrated heroines of Phuket. The monument holds deep cultural significance for Thai people, and its connection to that era of local resistance makes it a meaningful stop for travellers with an interest in Thai history and heritage. The surrounding natural setting adds to its quiet dignity, giving it a character distinct from the more prominent Heroines' Monument found elsewhere on the island. The atmosphere here is generally calm and unhurried, with the site sitting peacefully within its natural surroundings. Visitors who have attended the annual festival dedicated to the Heroines of Phuket describe a spectacular and well-organised celebration, with strong community participation that reflects genuine local pride in this chapter of history. It is worth noting that outside of scheduled events and festivals, the site tends to be quiet and may feel sparse to some visitors. Those seeking a lively experience are best served by timing their visit around the annual commemorative celebrations. No opening hours or admission details are currently confirmed, so it is advisable to check locally before making a dedicated trip. The site is free to explore and suits travellers looking for a reflective, off-the-beaten-path cultural experience.

A very beautiful monument located in a picturesque place of the island - the monument of victory over the Burmese invaders. This monument is directly connected with the monument to the sisters heroines and is its logical continuation - it is they who lead the column. On the victory field there are also other participants of the events of 1785, who helped the sisters Chan and Muk to repel the onslaught of Burmese troops, who had the goal of capturing the island. It was in this place that the turning point in the defense of the island took place, in consequence of which this place was chosen to commemorate those events. The area is very beautiful, clean and landscaped. There is a great place to ride a bicycle. You can come here on it or bring it with your cars and combine pleasant with useful!

I was here when there was a big holiday dedicated to the Heroines of Phuket. This was spectacular! Everything is well organized. Thai people are very proud of their history.

Happy to visited this event about the history of Phuket. Good to see how engaged the Thai people are with there rich history.

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.
