Very interesting to see this monument, which is in the centre of a large road intersection. The monument is enormous and there are gardens surrounding it however, it’s very hard to get to because of all of the roads converging and the heavy traffic. There are very good street markets surrounding the area where you can enjoy food and view the monument from the distance.

Beautiful view, lots of photography angles. Around there are shops selling food. There are a lot of things to use (a lot). The famous item is probably boat noodles. They're delicious, but not that wow factor. Let's come and visit.

This is a great place! I wonder why no one ever mention nor recommend this place to shop!If not for the fact that I stayed at their nearby hotel, I wouldn’t even discover this place! This place is not too far from tourist destinations such as platinum mall or pratunam and yet this place has what those places have! There’s a shopping mall beside Victory Monument BTS and there is a linkway connecting the BTS to the shopping centre. Completely sheltered. There are various street vendors selling snacks ranging from fruits to sausages, fried crickets, etc. there’s also massage places nearby at 200 baht. Must explore freely at your leisure time.

There’s a duck noodle and chicken rice stall which opens from morning till afternoon. Do try them out! The food taste fantastic! Not your usual kind of food you would try in Bangkok. There is a long stretch of vendors selling female clothes, food, slippers, etc along the way. Just follow the track of the BTS. Walk further up the street and it will lead you to another 2 mini air conditioned shopping centres nearby. There’s still constant crowd in these places but maybe not as many tourists as you might expect compared to pratunam.

Feel free to check out their SAXOPHONE Pub which is highly recommended on tripadvisor but I felt that the food there was soso.I ordered their fried fish and green curry chicken. Their green curry chicken was horrible. Gee, they added a lot of salty eggs and some other salty stuff which I can’t really identify. However, their cocktails are not bad. Interior pub is dark and the music was average, perhaps I’m not really into pub music.

Generally, this victory monument place is a MUST GO!

If you happen to drop by the victory monument for any reason, do not miss out the boat noodles. It is located next to a small canals, where you will see 5-10 stretch of shops by the canals claiming to be selling the best boat noodles in town. If you don’t read Thai, then you’d best trust your instincts and walk in to one of the premise and pray for the best experience. Hint? Go with the crowd. The workers are dressed in purple, pink and neon green, with a few other shops wearing almost similar colours. We chose the pink one, and had air-conditioning just like most others.

Most of the staffs do not speak english so go for the menu and pick either pork or beef served with dark broth. Each bowl comes with 2-3 mouthful of noodles and you'd see the locals ordering up to 5-10 bowls at each time! Spicy, robust, delicious and CHEAP. Every bowl goes for 10 baht/RM1/USD0.30, and drinks of bottled cola was about the same price or you could get a cola for free if you ordered up to 20 bowls which is a pretty easy task if you come in a group. :)

VICTORY MONUMENT BOAT NOODLES
Ratchawithi 10, off Thanon Phahon Yothin,
North of Victory Monument.
Take the BTS and stop at Victory Monument BTS station, and walk northbound towards the monument itself. Once passing the monument, look down to the streets and find this stretch of stalls lining the canal.

Thailand was the only country in Southeast Asia not to be occupied during the second world war but it wasn't totally uninvolved in the conlict. It did fight a war against the (by-then) Vichy-controlled French and managed to regain some previously lost territory in Indochina. And that's the whole point of this monument that stands in the middle of a roundabout. From afar, it looks like an obelisk, but up close, it's really five connected bayonets connected in the middle. Surrounding the central obelisk at its base are five statues representing the army, air force, navy, police and civilians.

Is it worth getting a close-up look? In my opinion, probably not unless one is a strong Thai history bufff. The monument's most easily observed from the airconditioned comfort of a BTS train (Sukhumvit line) - it'll be on the left if heading north, or on the right side if heading south.

We went to Bangkok many times. Since we were staying near Victory Monument in October, we decided it was a good time for us to head over to Ratchawithi Road for lunch at the famous restaurant serving boat noodles. It was our 1st time experience. Easy to find.
We chose the first stall along a canal. Servers wearing purple T-shirts. There are plenty of indoor and air-conditioned rooms along the alleyway. We ordered rice vermicelli and kway teow with beef and pork, topped off with fresh herbs in miniature bowls. Also ordered side dishes, drinks etc...
The bowl's smal size is the unique selling point of boat noodle alley in Bangkok.
We saw locals order dozens of bowls at a time, which were stacked high on the tablets for photo taking.

It's really a must go place for boat noodle. I love the stretch of restaurants that sell really cheap and nice boat noodle. Moreover, the overhead bridge makes it easier for you to walk from BTS Station to the boat noodle restaurant. There are also shops around where they sell clothings.

This was just round the corner from our Century Park Hotel. This is a very busy place for shopping, eating, park, tram station, bus station, tuk-tuks, taxis, etc. making access to Bangkok easy and particularly cheap compared to other cities. It appeared like this was the center of Bangkok, the place is always buzzing. It has a vibrant night life. There is a night market as well. Lot of cool things to do and see. Check it out. Have Fun!
