Ratchaphakdi Park (Hua Hin)

We came upon Ratchaphakdi Park on our trip to Hua Hin, and on writing this I wanted to visit again.

There are seven statues of former Kings of Thailand and they are approximately how much each would weigh I have no idea - I would like to see the building of this place!!!

The Kings represented here are -

 1) King Ramkhamhaeng (reigned 1279-1298) of the Sukhothai Period   

 2) King Naresuan (1590-1605) of the Ayutthaya Period

 3) King Narai (1656-1688) of the Ayutthaya Period  

 4) King Taksin (1767-1782) of the Thonburi Period

 5) King Rama I (1782-1809) of the Rattanakosin Period

 6) King Mongkut (1851-1868) of the Rattanakosin Period

 7) King Chulalongkorn (1868-1910) of the Rattanakosin Period.

They were built by the military government after the coup to inspire the loyalty of the people to the monarchy in Thailand. Here's something about it being built.

We even had a Cape Panwa Hotel teddy bear in the car! I have since read that it is best to visit in the early morning because of the sun rising and then in the early evening because they are lit up!
