Victory Monument

Victory Monument is not really a major attraction per se, but is a great spot to come people watch and see the real Bangkok in action. Thousands of people pass through here each day on their way to work, school, and other, as the area around the monument has transport connections to virtually everywhere within 100 kilometers of Bangkok. Thousands of mini vans pass through here, connecting travelers with the Skytrain, and given the crowds, a huge street food stall industry has sprung up, with packed tables on the street serving great eats to the masses.
