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 Saha Chat Memo­r­i­al, that means the memo­r­i­al of those born in the year of the pig. It refers to three roy­al donors that were born in the same year as her. Gen­er­al­ly, the memo­r­i­al is dec­o­rat­ed with colour­ful gar­lands and flow­ers, and locals come here to pray and show respect.
