Bronze statues of two sisters who organized the island's defense against the Burmese army in 1785, a symbol of Phuket's identity.
The Heroines Monument honors Thao Thep Kasattri and Thao Si Sunthon, two sisters who organized the island's defense against the Burmese army in 1785. The bronze statues stand in the middle of a large roundabout on Thalang Road. This monument is a strong symbol of Phuket's identity and locals often leave offerings here. A short stop, ideally combined with the nearby national museum.
Our local tip
The monument is in the middle of a very busy roundabout: come early or after 6pm; an annual celebration is held here from March 13 to 15.
