Pig Memorial (Somewhere to go) (Sahachat Shrine) (BKK) Visit 1


Pig Memorial was not something that I was looking for but it was certainly a fascinating place that I came upon when I was on a Bangkok Walk - Rattanoskin.



Here's some information - 



"Designed by Prince Naris, this golden pig statue was created in 1913 at the 50th birthday anniversary of Queen Phatcharinthra, one of King Rama V's wives, who was born in the Chinese year of the pig. In Thai it is also known as the Sahachat Memorial, that means "the memorial of those born in the year of the pig" 
- from Pangeaguides.



Best visited in the 'Year of the Pig'.
