Monument
of Bang Rachan Heroes: This is situated in Amphoe Khai Bang Rachan,
13 kms. southwest of the town on Route No. 3032. The statues refer
to the villagers of Bang Rachan who bravely fought against the
Burmese army in 1765 during the reign of King Ekkathat of Ayutthaya.
In spite of many more troops than the villagers, the Burmese had
to make eight attacks before the villagers were defeated due to
their shortage of weapons.
